Explain an Employment Gap in a Job Interview

My Premium Resume Package: jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/premium-resume-package If you have an employment gap of longer than 6 months, you will most likely need to explain that employment gap in a job interview. This video shows you the best way to reframe that question so you’re able to craft a strong, well thought-out answer when faced with skeptical interviewers who are curious about your career and job gaps. There are plenty of valid reasons for gaps in employment; school, taking care of loved ones, market factors outside of your control. So when interviewers are asking about your employment gaps on the resume, you want to be upfront, but also focus on the skills you learned during that break in employment. There’s no need to focus too much on the employment gap reasons, but rather on your learnings and takeaways from the unemployed period. Once you shift your own mindset away from the employment gaps on the resume, you’ll see the skills you learned, the character traits you’ve built, are all very applicable to the role you’re interviewing for.
