  • How can you explain the gap in a resume is one of the most asked questions in recent times. This question is asked in an interview to test the confidence of an interviewer if he can correctly justify the gap in his resume with proper reasoning.
    It's not a matter of concern if you have a gap in your resume and you are able to defend it.

      Yes you can perfectly say that you have taken some time off due to Medical Emergency and it’s okay to take some time off. The most important point is skill, if you up-skill yourself doing some course, program it’s okay.

    I've got a 9 month career gap. I was actually learning to get into IT, so I learnt Devops. But things didn't go as planned because people with no experience in IT aren't being considered for the role of devops engineer. Previously I used work as Customer support and sales executive, Voice process. Now I've no choice but to get into the same role. I got rejected once for saying the truth and once for lying. Can I get some help as to how to justify. (Got reject in the last round in both the companies. My skills are really good tho)
