MInd The Gap

Mind The Gap

Gaps in CV's are quite commonplace. The question is "should you or shouldnt you fill them in?" There are reasons you should and reasons you shouldn't. Straight forward short gaps between jobs such as seeking work, travelling, maternity, family carer are generally acceptable. However unexplained longer term gaps can make it easy for a potential employer to dismiss your application so even if you are walking dogs, brushing up on your photography skills or trying some new entreprenueurial venture in order to secure yourself work we advise you put it on your CV. It makes for interesting reading and hopefully conversation. It shows that you have been trying to keep occupied whilst sourcing a position in your current expertise. Your CV is your sales statement, make it interesting and leave no room for doubt!
