aries_jadore asked:

I got fired from my last two jobs where I worked for 4 months and 1.5 months respectively. I am now pregnant and I want to resume my career in 1.5 years. Will I have to include my last two roles in my CV when I resume?

    No just don’t include them. It’s ok you don’t have to. What wewre the reason’s they gave you for being fired? if they are reasons (ture or not) that make your character look bad I just wouldn’t include them and move on with my life, just amke sure you take into consideration what it was that got you fired from the last two jobs. Don’t worry we all live and learn! Just make sure you learn from your mistakes. Plus, if your resuming your career in 1.5 years I would just take classes from home or however you like/can do with the baby, and increase my knowledge of the profession I want to be in, that way it looks like you are being productive even tho your staying at home with the kids too. This will make you look better int eh eyes of an employer!

    Sorry, but I think being fired would be more harmful to your CV than being a mother. Just being honest as an employer :) As to including them in your employment history, well. Thats up to you. Depends what you were fired for!

    Best of luck with your pregnancy x

    I personally don’t include jobs i’ve had for less then 6 months. You need something that looks good on your resume. and if you were fired don’t include it. But if they let u go due to not needing u anymore. You can write that as u did nothing wrong. Just word it better when an interviewer asks u about it.

    know what? i was a stay at home mom for awhile, too, and When i interveiw I let employers know i was. Reason? i have (any mom has)

    -extreme organizational skills
    -demonstrated perserverance and determination
    -ability to multi-task
    -commitment to a job
    -comfortable on the phone
    -liason between appointments
    -work well with others

    You can but it on a CV or not, maybe depending on how old you are. If you have a lot of jobs and the ability to get a CV or resume writer service, do it. Because you will have all these skills, you should be able to get a really good job–assuming you have a little college too.
    -communication skills
