I'm in process of updating my resume and looking to get a job.Im trying to get ideas about how to summarise my 5 years at home on maternity leave?During this time I had two children's now they are 5 and 3 and a half and we were traveling in different countries due to my husband job. Recently we are back to Dubai and I have difficulties in finding a job I guess because the 5 years gap nobody is calling me for an interview.what have u written on your resume and how do you present and sell those skills you've gained as stay home mum?
Thanks,
A desperate housewhife

I used to work in recruitment and to be honest when we called candidates who had gaps in their resume we just infomed the client of the situation. In my opinion 5 years is a long time to be out of the workforce here especially when they are so many people looking for work I would be honest. I can imagine raising a child is far harder than being in employment. What did you work as before the children? :-)
