The woman justified a 13-year by listing her experience as a homemaker and highlighting her valuable skills. Yugansh mentioned how this CV makes her stand out. Taking to LinkedIn, he wrote, “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. Thoughts on this type of CV?"

Along with this, he shared an image of the CV. In the image, you can see that the woman has mentioned all the skills that she learnt as a part of being a home maker. Here, have a look for yourself:
