Cv and application forms

On your CV or application form, be specific with examples of where you've used these skills successfully. For example, completing a project on schedule shows evidence of good teamwork or leadership as well as organisational skills.

Put your career break on your CV, show what you have been doing and demonstrate what you have learnt from the experience. The vast majority of employers look favourably on career breaks these days - in fact, some people have found that the interviewer is more interested in their career break than anything else!
