Also a 6 year gap would scare off most employers, its just easier to choose someone without a gap. i would suggest you have a well rehearsed positive answer as to what you did in the 6 years and why you are now employable. New qualifications or a little voluntary work can look good on the CV as a route back into employment and can make you stand out as someone who is keen to work. But most important is your interview manner, be smart, be early, be positive and professional, research potential employers as much as possible before the interview. prepare by doing some practice interview questions from the internet. Getting a job is a job in itself! stay positive and good luck!
excellent advice,
my misses had a gap of 6 yrs but thru hard work and a bit of luck managed to get her first job and has not looked back
