TF's plan sounds like a good one to me.

Obviously, there is going to be a gap on my CV due to my self-employment, however how would this be viewed by an agency (or even the employer)?
2008-2014 Self-employed Widget-wangler
Key clients included: Acme Widget Co., Kwiky-widgets PLC, Shawadiwadi Widgets LLP.
Provided expert advice and guidance on how to wangle a widget etc. etc.
I certainly wouldn't leave a gap if you have relevant experience that you would normally include if you had been working for someone else.

I suppose agencies must deal with people who are self-employed, all of the time???

Self-employment & employment
Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place for this question. If not, I guess the mod(s) will move it.
If I am currently a sole trader and have helped a number of companies, but for one or two reasons, wish to dip my toes back into the 'employment market', and I spot a temporary job e.g. through a recruitment agency, how would I go about applying for that job?
Obviously, there is going to be a gap on my CV due to my self-employment, however how would this be viewed by an agency (or even the employer)?
Has anyone here, for whatever reason, been in that situation?
If so, how did you deal with it?
Hope my question is clear enough. Thanks.Tags: None
