[quote=MARRIE,459341]In a job interview, you should still keep your explanation brief. Explain any valuable work-related experiences you gained during your employment gap, and mention that you are excited to move onto the next phase of your life. If a gap occurred a long time ago, there’s no point in mentioning it at all. Employers usually only care about your most recent work history. Be honest The worst thing you can do on a resume or in a job interview is to lie or stretch the truth. If you were let go from your previous job, don’t tell them that you left on your own. The same goes for freelancing during your employment gap. If you didn’t work with any clients while you were unemployed, you weren’t really freelancing. Employers will usually verify your resume and what you’ve said through reference checks. [/quote]
