#CVTips:
We reviewed a client's resume yesterday and I was shocked to see his work experience dating back to 1990.

Let me say this again...including your entire work history is unnecessary in most cases.

So how far back should your resume go? A general rule of thumb is to provide 10-15 years of your job history as it relates to the new role you’re targeting.

This typically covers your related experience, accomplishments, and your goals for your next career move.

Unless they specifically request a lengthy work history, you can leave off how you became a first-time manager in 1988 or your college internship back in 1975.

Remember, the goal is to tailor your resume to the job you’re applying for now, and to give only the most relevant information for that specific opening.

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!
