Gap on your resume? Here's what to do.
In this episode, Carina and Alison answer some great questions from the community.
How do you explain a career gap in a job interview? We explore the art of turning what may seem like a setback into a powerful part of your professional narrative. Whether you've taken time off for personal growth, family care, or to indulge your wanderlust, we've got tips to help you articulate career gaps with authenticity.
We also discuss the role of LinkedIn networking when you're on the job hunt, especially if you're considering planting roots in a new city. From initiating dialogues that could segue into salary talks to understanding the local cost of living, our conversation is packed with actionable insights.
And let's not forget about those pesky application bots flooding recruiters with generic resumes—to rise above the noise, you need tactics to ensure your application stands out. These days the human connection is more important than ever, and we break down why.
