Since high school, what is the longest you have been out of work for?

[Laksa]

I have been a fulltime mum for 5.5 years. Before that the longest time I was out of work was about 4 months when unwell. My last job I was in for over eight years

[Uh-Oh]

2 weeks when I was 20, I finished up work as a P.A, went on holiday for 2 weeks, came back and signed up with a temp agency, got an inteview the next day and started a month temp position the following week. That month got extended & extended for a year, then I won the positon, and I still work for the same department (although have moved up and onto other areas).

I started working at 15, and started fulltime when I finished Year 12 at 17.

Had mat leave with DS and will go on mat leave again in October for 14months when DS2 makes his arrival. I've always worked fulltime but am so looking forward to coming back from mat leave in 2014 to part time!

I've been working since I was 13, TFN type work. I had 6 months off to travel and started working 3 days after I got home.

I quit that job due to workplace bullying and was out of work for 10 days before finding a new job.

Yes I was including time off after a baby. Paid or unpaid.
