I'm an employer and I'd look very cynically at your CV.
Good luck finding work, but don't shoot the messenger.
Exactly correct. I am a twat and work in recruitment for one of the worlds largest consultancies and I wouldnt touch someone with a barge pole who has been out of work for 2 years.
A couple of month to relax and refocus fine but 2 years shows a poor work ethic.
The work ethic is for the potential employer to judge, if a person is suitably qualified and capable they should be put forward, your own personal opinion might be depriving your client of a very capable employee. If I found out that any of the consultants I speak to had that attitude I'd make sure they were removed from the PSL.
OP, for the last two years you've been a "freelance lifestyle coach/consultant" let's you creep in some of the voluntary roles you've done as well, I employee personality first rather than skills, naturally they are important but so is, equally, your ability to fit in.
Good luck blue
