Resume Red Flags: Employment Gaps
- Gaps in experience indicate a struggle with securing jobs in the past or poor performance to the hiring manager.
- One can proactively explain the real, often valid reasons for a gap in your employment, like taking care of a sick family member, recession, or taking time-out for education or reskilling.
- It is a good idea to add some contractual or consulting work, pursue a degree or diploma, or even do volunteer work.
- If you were out of work due to your being selective about your career, mention the same to the recruiter.
