As the title says, I(26F) have been out of employment (3 years) due to psych issues and physical health, I know plenty of employers have heard that same shpeil. During this time I have gone back to education, started a small hairdressing hussle AND gotten some work experience as I was studying to become a teaching assistant for senco children. My boss at my work experience was very reasonable and kind as it wasn't paid work, but I doubt other employers will be so understanding. Any advice for someone trying to return to the work field, I've been told a lot of schools are desperate for TAs and I genuinely love working with children but I don't want my gap to be used against me, any advice?
