Serious question.
What advice would you give to someone who’s never been ‘employed’, always been self employed. Never had to write a CV, never filled in job applications, or been for an interview.
Asking for a friend. |

Advice. Get your right to work paperwork in order. My birth certificate did not match my current surname. I have no passport, and the courts took my marridge cirtificate when I divorced.
I had to go through quite a lot to get and pay for a copy of my marridge cirtificate. Which was a stressful and mentle toll.
It delayed my starting the job for 2 weeks. Being born in England, lived here all my life, kids born here and I have a mortgage here is not enough. No, any paperwork with my NI number on and being self employed with a UTR was not enough. |

It would completely depend on what you did as self employed and what role you were going for, assuming you were a brick layer but going for a finance role for example then I would focus on the numbers of your business, soft skills such as customer liasing and negotiation on price etc but without further insight ita difficult to truly gauge, but I hope that kind of helps |
