How do you indicate in a CV if you've been your own boss for a time and now you want to get into the employment?

[@Indeed]

Would you be interested in getting some tips on explaining self-employment on a CV or resume? 🤔 Here's a video on cover letter tips in the meantime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5SpgKVvf9RjhaM

[@Plmora]

@@Indeed yes I would like to get some tips. I am transitioning from self-employment to employment and writing a cv is giving me a challenge, the point is, I have never been employed since I left college but my businesses have previously done well. I am based in Kenya, Indeed has been very helpful to me.
