Don't Mind The Gap

You’ve been out of work for a month?

OH NO.

A GAP.

A GAPPPP!!! 😱

Not the thing recruiters whisper about in dark corners.

Not the resume void that devours careers whole! 🕳️

What will you say?

What will they think??

What if they know you’ve been out for a month…

or seven…

or thirty? 🗓️

Might as well tattoo a big red G on your forehead.

(Shoutout to Hester Prynne 🔴 - and less drama.)

So you scramble for something noble: “Focused on growth.” 🌱

“Volunteering at a llama rescue.” 🦙

“Deeply reflective sabbatical.” 🧘

Just say something, right?

Wrong.

Take a breath.

Come back down to Earth. 🌍

Here’s the truth:

You don’t need to explain the gap.

The people worth working for?

They’re not sweating it. 💧

They’re asking one thing:

Can I trust this person? 🤝

That’s your move.

Not cover-up.

Not spin.

Just build trust - honestly, in service of others. ❤️

In London? Mind the Gap. 🚇

On a job hunt? Don’t obsess over it.
