    Question about lengthy\current gap in CV

    Not so good. I've been honest about the length of gap, and why I have been out for so long.

    Question about lengthy\current gap in CV

    Agreed. I'm fine with tweaking my CV, but am not comfortable with outright lying. Too easy to get caught out I was just looking for a way to explain the gap that wouldn't put off either the agents or the client, but it looks liek there's no easy way to do it
