Question: I have an unemployement gap of over  5 years. how can i explain it in my CV? my previous job experience is not relevent to my current high qualification

Answer: Well it depends on what you did. Were you unemployed by choice? Did you choose to stay home for family, to help out a friend or family memeber, to take care of someone who is sick and unable to tend to themselves? Medical reasons? There are a number of reason as to how you can explain the gap.
