Do you lie on your CV?

by Paul Holmes

In two weeks time I loose my job. It is no suprise, I took a 3 month contract in May and now the time is up. I was worried, I did think my mood would sink and depression would engulf me with worry about finding something else. However for some reason I have a sort of exciting feeling that a new chapter in my life is going to start. So I am pleased with that.

The problem is, I have a 5 year black hole in my CV where I was rehabilitating from illness and lets be honest it doesnt make me the most attractive candidate for any job. So what do you do?

Isn't the present more important than the past when applying for jobs? I am fine to work now, but in the past I couldn't. So why do I feel the need to write something in there to cover that huge gap? I am not ashamed, I just know it will not be well received. I know the employers will look at my CV and think "Uh oh, nutter alert." Or will they?

What would, or do you do? Am I wrong? Is there not supposed to be a law for discriminating against mental health sufferers? If you are an employer I would love to know your thoughts.

The CV is up on the screen ready to be blasted out to the various sites and job adverts. WHAT SHALL I DO???

Hi. Very interesting article but it's hard to find mentalhealthy.co.uk in search results. You are out of google's top 10, so you can't expect big traffic. You need high quality backlinks to rank in serps. And you can get them for free, just search in google: fasrixo's tools Look into my homepage; NevilleBig

I am not sure that many regions have a "back to employment" service. There is certainly nothing like this provided by my local NHS Trust (or whatever it is these days) nor by my local social services. It would be so useful to have employment support that is not related to JobCentrePlus, with people trained to understand the issues faced by sufferers of mental ill health when they return to work. As it does not exist already, I am sure in these times of financial stringency it is unlikely to happen in the near future, although I have no doubt that this sort of service would be cost effective in the long term. I find it reassuring that two of you have found ways to deal with "career breaks". I really like the way you have handled your CV, Ian. Explaining away breaks in employment has really been a concern of mine. However I also have the problem that as a former senior IT professional the industry and technology has moved on since I last worked and I would need a lot of training to get back to being an effective consultant with my specialist area. I think I will end up going for a change in career, if only I could work out what to try.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
