I worked at company X from 2016-2021. Left March 2021, but the next thing I joined was in late 2022. Between that time, first I was preparing for Masters, got in, but ultimately decided to not go. It took 8 months as the market was really bad and I was unprepared.
Now, when I am looking to switch from current job, I have gotten a couple of queries around why the gap etc. I originally thought I will explain the situation but now to prevent getting filtered out in screening, is it okay to write company X tenure from March 2021 to March 2022, reducing the gap?
All help/inputs from experienced folks is appreciated 🙏🏽
“Why the gap” is a normal question if HM or HR sees a gap. Just curiosity, does not always mean they are looking at it in bad light. As long as you have a reasonable explanation, it should be fine. What skill level you are at is more important.
Yeah. I have decided to not change anything for the sake of my peace. Thanks for the reply!
