Скачать или смотреть How to explain employment gaps in an interview

An employment gap on your resume doesn’t have to be the kiss of death. Here are some templates that you could use to build upon and explain your employment gaps:

If you left the workforce to be a caretaker
“I spent some time as the primary caretaker in my family. During that time, I was able to be there for my family but always knew I wanted to return to work. I’m ready to do that now.”

If you were laid off
“My former employer underwent a restructuring that resulted in my position being eliminated. To be honest, it was a difficult time. But I left with the confidence that I had developed important skills there and built strong relationships with my managers and colleagues. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to apply those experiences in my next job.”

If you were fired
“The company and I had different expectations. In reflecting on that experience, I realise there are some things I could have done differently. I learned a great deal, and I’m excited about the opportunity to bring that maturity to my next job.”

If you took time off for personal reasons
“I was able to take some time off work to focus on myself. It was a time that prepared me to take on new challenges. I’m incredibly excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, such as this position.”

If you took time off for medical reasons
“I was seriously injured in automobile accident and had to take time off to get better. After several rounds of surgery, I completely recovered and returned to all of my activities. I’m incredibly excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, such as this position.”


All the best!
