New Approach to Resume Gaps

Conventional wisdom has always been that gaps in a resume are bad. Job seekers would take great pains to hide them.

But after two years of a pandemic, when a lot of people took breaks either on purpose or by default, the collective attitude has changed.

Hence, LinkedIn’s new feature: Career breaks in the spotlight!

LinkedIn members can now add a “Career Break” to their profile in lieu of a job, with a creative description of how you spent your time away from work: “Full-time parent,” “Unplanned sabbatical,” “Productive mental respite,” “caregiver for parent/relative” etc.

We’re no longer going to diss resume gaps; we’re going to glorify them!
