00:00:02,990 --> 00:00:07,770

OK this is how you address gaps in history that appear on your resume.



2

00:00:07,970 --> 00:00:12,220

There are basically two kinds of gaps job search gaps and personal achievement gaps.



3

00:00:12,410 --> 00:00:16,280

So with respect to the job search gap if you see on your resume that you have a gap.



4

00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,330

Kind of like this that you're seeing on the screen.



5

00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:24,110

Just be aware that when you go into the interview process if the recruiter or H.R. manager talks to



6

00:00:24,110 --> 00:00:29,780

you about it they are definitely aware that job searches can take a long time and you just need to be



7

00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:32,130

able to speak about it in a positive way.



8

00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:38,000

So make sure that you are able to say something like For example I realize that finding the right natch



9

00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:41,350

between the employer and the employee is hard.



10

00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:48,200

So I wanted to make sure I found a good one OK with respect to life event gaps like maybe a baby or



11

00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,370

you decided to travel or there was a family event that happened.



12

00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:55,780

Again make sure that you're ready to talk about this in the interview.



13

00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:03,560

Specifically you need to be able to show that you're emotionally ready to join this company and also



14

00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,790

that you have the skills.



15

00:01:04,850 --> 00:01:09,320

So if possible you need to be able to talk about how you've been beefing up your skills while you had



16

00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:15,200

this gap in employment and also make sure that if you have any volunteer experience that happened during



17

00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,610

your gap that you go ahead and include that in the volunteer section like you're seeing here so that



18

00:01:19,610 --> 00:01:24,890

you can say yes I was taking care of this personal event or doing whatever while I was beefing up my



19

00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:27,760

skills and I was doing some volunteer work.
