I'm just wondering if anyone could maybe help me.

I'm just updating my brother's CV. He was in a bad accident last year while on hols and has spent the last year recovering, attending physio etc. He is now about to apply for a part time job as he is now just about fully recovered and is getting bored sitting around the house.

My question is, should I put a bit in his CV explaining the past year and why he hasn't been working or should he put that in a covering letter?

Thanks

Definitly put it on his CV. There is nothing worse than unexplained gaps on a CV and he has an extremely valid reason for not being in work.

Add the dates and a brief explanation. E.g.

Period of recovery following an road traffic accident. Am now fully recovered following.

I have just read my post and must have pressed post before i finished typing!

I was going to suggest: Am now fully recovered following a period of rehabilitiation and physiotherapy.
