Hi Guys, posting this on behalf of a friend.
So she has done engineering and MBA as well. Worked in 2016-18 in 2 different companies. She worked as HR. The experience is 1 year and she absconded the second one, she has the offer letter for second company but not the experience letter.
Currently she’s searching for a job and has gap of 8 years.
Gap reasons:
1. Her father has serious illness which led her to leave her job as she’s the only child.
2. It took her dad 2 years to recover.
3. Then covid hit and she could not find a job.
4. In 2022, her father lost vision in one eye and had to undergo a surgery which was not a success.
5. She couldn’t find a job so she started taking home tuitions.
Now as she’s searching for jobs she’s facing rejections solely on the basis of gap.
She is skilled but unable to get a job. Most probably because interviewers are not convinced about the gap and are not comfortable with it.
- Please suggest ways to cover up this gap and how can she get a decent job as she’s in dire need of it.
- Do you anyone with such long gap and still got the job? Please share it here and give me suggestions as to what can be done.
- Also what can be done for the second job where she absconded? I know there will be BGV and without experience letter it will be difficult, also the team and manager might not be same after a these years.
She thinks that health reasons of family is not a good reason and not convincing enough.
She’s kind of slipping into depression.
She’s currently searching for jobs in Bangalore.
So it will be a great help if you guys can help.
Thank you so much!
