Interview Question - Why is their gap in your CV?

[PernandoBoro]

The last sample is meant for civil service aspirants 🙂

"from nursery to graduation, there wasn't a proper gap, so I took one, any problem?"

[dawntodusk]

Two reasons I don't like corporate interviews:

• I'm an introvert
• You can't speak your mind here. You have to be diplomatic and pretentious...

Not my type...

I was in jail for two year in charges of my boss and HR Manager Murder case 😂😂😂😂😂

[lissom_cheeky_piyu]

When someone says it is personal why can't their privacy be respected
As a HR or Manager the focus should be on ensuring that the candidate is available to work with them with better productivity😊

I couldn't get a job for two years that's why I got a gap but i never gave up and here I am at my 1000th interview😊

[babelette]

I'm a software engineer, I explained that I took a 5 year break freelancing (writing) when I can as i was caring for my mom who was a stroke patient as well as my dad with heart problems and I was getting back to work now that they have unfortunately passed away and I want to move on with life and focus on my career. Several people asked why didn't I put them in a care home and suggested that I could be rusty as a software engineer to hire now since I've only been doing writing during the last 5 years... I am being punished for being a caring daughter and now i have 5+ gap years and parents gone too. I'm permanently unemployable. I'm also 36 now, lost my chance to marry because i was caring for parents. My partner waited for 3 years but gave up and married someone else because he felt I'll be stuck caring for parents rest of my life. Gap years is such mess.

Because parents filed bankruptcy in my 20s, there were no savings, house, or any inheritance. Everyone kept telling me i was mad as there is nothing in it for me, but all i could think was making parents comfortable. I didn't think about the future. Everyone called me naive and that i deserve this misfortune but i still don't feel being there for them is the fault but the corporate world that's not forgiving of gap years is at fault. Not everyone can abandon their parents. Maybe I'm broken. My mom forgot everyone as her brain declined, only thing that comforted her was being near me. Even after she forgot who I was she got panic attacks when i wasn't near her. How could she have survived being looked after or be by strangers? Dementia is very hard, if there is no love dementia patients life is hell! I heard so many stories of abuse in care homes. Infosys and Accenture both told me i was just being pedantic in wanting to be the one to care for them so it's my own fault I'm not ready to rejoin workforce. I took refresher courses, but not enough for them. 🥺

[karmicintuition]

Career gaps are normal and also needed. Apparently in India it's seen as a negative thing.

How about "I did 4 years for armed robbery but now I'm excited to work in your bank"

[sureshreddy]

Finally…I got the best answer for the gap and here I’m with interviewer choosing the fourth reply.

I took a break because I was preparing for my X exams and unfortunately that dint workout.

Interviewer: which exam?
Me: X exam
Interviewer: we will get back to you…

I’m excited to hear from them. Thank you for the super explainer video…

How many companies will be this transparent with salary negotiations or layoffs? You owe them nothing more than what they give you. A candidate's personal life is none of the employer's business. All that matters is their suitability for the job.

[luckybajpai]

The last reason is very common nowadays....
Thanks for sharing....
I also restarted my career after 5 years of gap.
I have been working for the last 6 months. I am doing well and competing with others to give my best everyday.

[lavanyanaidu]

You're doing great job and I genuinely wish you great success.

[neerugogia]

No no.. having a gap should be normal and it’s okay not to share due to personal reasons.. we should accept the gap. I like to take gap in my career to rejuvenate.

[rajich]

I was on carrier break for 10 yrs, MI e is reason 3. I don't want to miss the kids phase and we stayed in abroad for couple of years ...Now again I started my carrier in 2019.
Happy that now a days no company is really judging the carrier gap.

[Karmakavi]

No dear. Personal choice and Personal commitments and Personal choices is non of anyone business. Indian companies need to respect Human life. Its life, things happen.
