Dear Professional,
Explain the GAP!!!
Make it your duty to nicely explain the gaps in your career on your resume.
Seeing uncoordinated dates in the most qualified candidates’ resume plays a trick on the mind of recruiters and hiring managers.
I will prefer to see:
Xx/xx/XX – xx/xx/XX – Toured the coast of southern Africa, feed elephants and watched the sun set. 😊 (Trust me, no further questions on the gaps will be asked)
Or
Xx/xx/XX – xx/xx/XX – Actively monitored the sleep pattern of my bundles of joy while caring for their day to day activities to ensure optimal early years development. (I will personally be jealous of you)
Please add more in the comment section.
I am not a copywriter, I just know how to write amazing resumes.
