Gap in Employment




What did you do during the six month gap in your employment?

Answer Guide:
Because I knew I was ready to re-enter the workforce at the earliest available date, I worked on a personal plan to get back to work. I re-vamped my resume, read self help books and internet sites, visited and applied to some employment agencies, and also built up a professional network through LinkedIn, Facebook, and twitter.   I connected with past co-workers who could attest to my work performance and asked them if I could use them as contacts.  I found that the websites offer job opportunities also through job postings.  Although the job search took longer than I anticipated, I learned a great deal about myself during my unemployment and realized that I am a person who really enjoys the challenge of working and will probably work well past my anticipated retirement age (smile).
