Week #11
Put a Positive Spin on Employment Gaps
Be prepared to explain a gap in your employment. Be calm and honest —there are many acceptable reasons why someone was unemployed for a period of time.
Even if you weren’t voluntarily out of work, consider all positive activities that display valuable personal growth and achievement.
- Volunteering
- Extended learning
- Parenting
- Freelancing
Keep your response brief and positive, simple and sincere.
