Turn Your Knowledge into Earnings.
A recent graduate I know has not been working for 1.5 years after graduating with a graduate degree in Engineering due to taking care of ill family member/parent.
In the time of unemployment, they did projects using latest tools/programs to stay relevant and "train" themselves, which is what they would be doing at the job. They are in a highly in demand field in engineering with many opportunities right now and a graduate degree from a top 10 school.
Now they are ready to look for employment in industry.
How should they bring up this employment gap ? Through reference letter ? On resume ? Won't HR just throw it out right away ?
Any advice, tips or recommendations on how to get through HR ? What to do in interview to address it ?
Thank you.
They might have been unemployed, but can still make visible in their resume the projects they worked on, if it is relevant to their application.
Before I switched field of work, I did some volunteering activity in the new field I was going to work, and just put that in my resume. I happened to meet my future employer right during this volunteering activity.
If the question comes to explain the gap in work, they can simply give the honest explanation along the line "I could not work because I had to take care of an ill family member, however I managed to keep myself up-to-date by doing these projects..."
