I have been out of work for 3 years to be able to take care of my newborn, which was my priority then. Keeping in mind that I will be resuming work once this responsibility is shouldered well and that's why I am here being interviewed.

I had opened a startup in XYZ and ABC services, but some time later my partner leave the startup, after the financial problems started, and startup was not running properly, so I closed it.
And after that, I am searching a new job.

I retired from civil service two years ago. At the time, I thought I was ready for retirement. I soon discovered that I liked working and was not ready to retire. I have been applying for positions for over a year with no success.
