The good news?
A career gap doesn’t define you, but how you explain it does! 💡
💬 Interviewer: “So, what were you doing during this break?”
😰 Wrong answer: “Umm… I was just at home.”
✅ Right answer: “I took this time to upskill, volunteer, and manage personal responsibilities, which strengthened my skills in [communication/project management/leadership].”
🔹 Your gap isn’t a weakness. It’s part of your story.
🔹 Own it, frame it positively, and connect it to your strengths.
