If you are out of work for a long period of time you may find it difficult to find an employer who is willing to take you on. Sometimes people have to be unemployed for a period of time, this may be due to illness, raising a family, looking after a loved one or other personal circumstances. If this is the case, you may find it difficult to return to work when you are competing against other people that have had steady jobs for a number of years.
Employers are always looking for members of staff that are going to show commitment and although you may have a huge amount of commitment to offer, your CV may not show the same.
If you have been out of employment for some time then make sure that you explain your reasons clearly to your potential employer and also offer some reassurance of your commitment.
