Woman Lists 13 Years Of Experience As A 'Homemaker' On Her CV; Internet Is Delighted

Resumes, those concise documents that aim to encapsulate one's professional journey, often find themselves the subject of intriguing tales. As individuals strive to stand out in a sea of applicants, some weave their narratives with a touch of exaggeration, presenting a carefully curated version of their experiences.

Among the various achievements that find their way onto these crucial pages, perhaps none is more captivating than mentioning "Homemaker" as years of expertise.

A woman explained a 13-year gap in her employment history by including her experience as a homemaker on her CV.

She emphasized the valuable skills and dedication she acquired during that time.

Yugansh Chokra, the founder of Growthic, a content marketing company, posted the woman's CV on LinkedIn. He shared the resume by writing:

"We saw this CV; she has 13 years of experience as a homemaker. Definitely, something that can make her stand out."

He also shared why he loved the resume.

"And the reason I love this is because managing a family is a real task, something that can¡¯t be undervalued. Less than 20% of women in India are working in a professional capacity. Gender gaps in housework participation are the largest among couples with children. It¡¯s a real job; you can¡¯t just discount the amount of work someone has to do to manage a family."

He asked his LinkedIn Followers, "Thoughts on this type of CV?"

According to the CV shared by Chokra, the woman departed from her last job in July 2009, where she held responsibilities for managing the recruitment process.

She identifies as a homemaker with 13 years of expertise, showcasing her punctual and efficient management skills within her home.

Since its posting on LinkedIn two days ago, the post has garnered more than 500 reactions and numerous reshares. Many individuals also took to the comments section to express their thoughts.

Individuals on the LinkedIn post praised the woman for highlighting her experience as a homemaker on her CV, acknowledging the valuable skills it entails. Chokra responded, stating that the role of a homemaker is indeed challenging.

Many appreciated the woman's open mindset and the qualitative value she brought to her resume, emphasizing the importance of recognizing such contributions.

Others noted that homemakers possess essential skills like time management and decision-making, which deserve more recognition.

One comment read: ¡°I appreciate her confidence to include that skill in her CV. It should be definitely included in the CV if somebody wishes to do the same. The work of a homemaker is unrecognized by society (not always, there are exceptional cases also). That work needs a lot of skill and patience,¡±

Another person wrote: ¡°Absolutely! Women have to leave their job for various reasons, and one of the most important is for the sake of family?€?and. Once she is a mother, her top priority becomes the upbringing and development of her baby. One of the most thankless jobs is being a homemaker and taking care of the family because, at the end of the day, people see that homemakers are staying at home doing nothing but sleeping and watching tv. I really appreciate this woman who has the guts to justify her 13 years of professional gap in the most reasonable way. More cheers to all the women who once took a break from careers for their children and family and were willing to start all again from scratch,¡±

Chokra explained that the woman was overqualified for the position they were hiring and out of their budget.
