Hello, I am Nurul Hashim and this is The Return Desk, a show for women going back to work after time away. In 2022 I went back to full-time work after six years at home with three children, and the first thing that nearly stopped me was a single blank space on a piece of paper. Six years on a CV. Today I will tell you about the three versions I wrote, the one that finally got me shortlisted, and how I answered the interviewer who asked, quite directly, who would look after my children. I will also talk about the skills those six years actually gave me and how to phrase them so they are taken seriously. Your action this week is one sentence, and I will explain it at the end. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
