Today On: CAREER GAP

Ever heard of the term "Career Gap" or wondering what it means for one to make a decision to leave their job to go pursue other intetests.....that is considered taking a career gap

What is Career Gap?
Career gap is the period of time spent away from your last job to pursue other interest or change of lifestyle.

Taking time off your job is another opportunity for you to learn new skills which may boost your soft skills that you can use in the future when you decide to back to the job market.

While there are varous reasons for one to take the gap, here are the most common reasons:

🔸Furthering your studies
🔸Raising children
🔸Sabbatical
🔸Travelling
🔸Temporary illness

Many people struggle when it comes to gaining the confidence to apply for jobs when they are ready to go back to the market because of the gap.

So how do one best deal with the career gap when job searching?

𝑶𝒘𝒏 𝒊t
Be honest and upfront with it. Explain the gap so that you are always prepared

𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒊t
Include the gap in your CV/resume

𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒏t
Tailoring your CV for every role you are applying for increases your chances to succeed, the same way with your career gap. Align the skills you aquired during your gap years to roles you applying for

Dont let that gap stop you from applying!

CV Mistakes You Should Avoid
1. Graphic design can be a great way to stand out in an industry where creativity is needed. For most roles, it's recommended to avoid graphics as ATS (Application Tracking System) can't read this information and most likely be rejected. You can use the same space to write relevant skills and use keywords to improve your chances. 

Note: using your image is allowed based on which country check local requirements. 

2. Job Experience: Make sure you use an active verb and describe what you and what impact/achievements you made; otherwise, it just sounds like job spec. 

Example: 
I. Marketing: Created online sales funnel on social media, which increased lead conversion rate by 10%.

II. Sales: Exceeded all quotas, resulting in a 60% revenue increase over 12 months.

III. Graphic Designer: Used expertise in Adobe Creative Suite to design 100+ logos, social media posts per month for 10+ clients. 

IV. Event Planning: Lead organising and managing for 5+ corporate events attended by 500+ people. 

V. IT Architect: Used C++ to crate IT infrastructure for 10+ clients.

3. Number of Pages: 

66% Employers Say Entry-Level Workers Should Have 1 Page Resumes.
77% Employers Say Seasoned Workers Should Have 2+ Page Resumes

Here’s a guide to answering the salary question in an interview!

Answering this question wrong can seriously ruin your whole job interview. If you lowball yourself you could either go to work with far less than you could have received or they might think you don’t value yourself and you’ll lose out on the job.

On the other hand, if you pick a number too high they might think they can’t afford you and let you go.

So researching salary ranges for your industry and going in prepared is key 📌
