This was so helpful. I’m currently navigating a gap year and was wondering if it made my diminished my career history. Thanks for explaining how to navigate this and how I can actually lean into it!

I appreciate the lightheadedness and comic relief in this video, while still being serious and informative

no, no it's not. They won't even give you an interview to explain the gap.

What about gaps that are not chosen? Mental health related or lack of experience and education to get a job in your field? Pretty sure it won't do well to be honest in interviews when it comes to those, but curious if you had any advice

come up with something, say that you were freelancing or doing ecommerce business, say that you worked as a waitress or something else, it's called white lie 😸I'm experiencing the same thing right now & I have 2 years gap cs i was dealing with life problems

Yeah I feel like these interview prep videos never address this because it's difficult to address. I'm in a similar situation. Mental health struggles and feeling unmotivated about life. Been trying to get back on track recently. Have education but little experience, and not sure how to convince employers to give me an opportunity
