Hi, I completed my engineering in 2011 and thereafter worked in an IT firm for 1.5 years. For the last 1.5 years, I have been working in the family business. I would be pursuing an MBA for the 2014-2016 session.
I don't have any salary slips for my tenure in the family business, just an experience certificate. Should I mention my business experience on my CV for internship or future jobs? I am concerned because:
1) Corporates tend to look down upon family business experience.
2) I was not an employee on the firm's books. So, I am scared of mentioning it on my CV now and later facing problems with verification.
I am scared after reading some tragic experiences regarding verification. But if I don't mention this experience, then I would have a gap in my career which I am not sure how to justify. I left my IT job because help was needed in the business.
Can someone please advise whether I should mention business experience in CV or not?
