While I was reading we ran into the inquiry “What does it mean to stand in the gap?”.

Can you explain the gaps in your employment?
Here are a few ways you can explain (or hide) gaps in employment: List years instead of months for previous positions. (e. g. “2014-2016”).

This won’t work if you have too many gaps though, or gaps longer than one year.

Nobody can tell you with 100% certainty what will work in your industry, with the specific circumstances of your gap in employment (dates, length, reason for the gap, etc.) So TEST things out. Send out 10 resumes one way, and if nobody’s responding, change something up.

Should you share your career gap with your employer?
Don’t forget to explain what you learned and gained from the job gap. Don’t lie and change dates trying to cover it up. Sharing your career gap in the right way makes a huge difference . Employers don’t care as much about you taking time out as they care about your skill set. Maybe you learned a new language. Did you earn a new sales certification?
