How Do You Deal with a Gap in Your Employment History?

So you want to get one of the new jobs in Colorado, but you’re worried about what your future employer might think about a long gap in your employment history. After all, there may be a lot of concerns here, especially if you quit your previous job unexpectedly and then avoided finding a new one for an extended period of time.

The main idea to remember here is that the employer doesn’t actually care what you did in that period. What they care about the most is whether or not you’ll be likely to do it again. As such, they’ll be looking for candidates who have a good reason for avoiding work – such as caring for an aging family member or trying to start their own business.

Your main goal is that, if you are being asked about that period, you should explain it briefly and clearly. Don’t add a lot of personal details, and avoid any sentences that would make it unclear as to whether the situation was resolved or not. It’s important to stress the fact that the situation has been dealt with and that your main focus, in the long run, is to establish your new position and stay with the company for an extended period of time, focusing on being 100% committed to your new work.
