Advice to get to back into Engineering

Hi,

I used to work for BAE Systems on the Euro-fighter programme. I left to travel in 2009 and on my return in 2010 struggled to get back into the industry. As a result I worked in retail and am now working as in field marketing and sales for various brands.

We have just been made redundant and I am now wanting to use this time to focus my efforts in getting back into Engineering.

The barriers i am facing are the short amount of time I had at work, just under three years, and the length of time I have been out of work. the feedback I get, if any is the typical 'not enough experience' or sometimes for security clearance my year in Australia as I have not been in the UK for the last 5 years.

What advice do any of you have for me to get back into the industry? Would anyone be prepared to look at my CV to give me advice on what best way it would be to tailor it?
