EXPLAINING YOUR WORK HISTORY:

Tough Questions - Well-Framed Responses

EXPLAINING YOUR WORK HISTORY:

Question: "Can you explain why there is an 8 month gap between Company A and Company B?", "Why were you out of work for so long?" or "Can you explain why you had 3 different employers in 5 years?"

Answer: Have a sound explanation for your work history. Whether you have a gap in your employment or have held several jobs in short period of time, emphasize that you were looking for a company to settle into where you could make a long-term commitment/contribution. Stress that you are not just looking for a higher paycheck.
