Do you struggle with talking about gaps or layoffs in your interview?

Do you struggle with talking about gaps or layoffs in your interview?

Most do (I did, too) and there is no shame

...in either scenario.

The next time you're preparing for an interview, try this approach:

Ask yourself --

1// What were you working on or toward in that role
(or role prior to your gap)

2// What stakes were at play? What were you up against?

3// Simply state the reason for your gap/the layoff that occurred
(short and sweet)

4// What did it teach you?

5// How has this new understanding prepared your or clarified your experience as an asset for the next company you're targeting?

Everyone loves a comeback-kid.

Make your layoff or gap work FOR you.
