How to Explain Resume Gaps Without Raising Red Flags

Описание: If you’re worried a resume gap is hurting your chances with employers or costing you interviews, this video will show you how to explain it clearly — without raising red flags.

Recruiters don’t automatically assume the worst. But when gaps aren’t explained well, they’re forced to guess — and guessing rarely works in your favor.

In this video, I walk through exact, resume-ready examples for how to explain:
• A layoff
• A stay-at-home parent gap
• Medical or health-related leave

You’ll learn where to explain a gap, what employers actually care about, and how to frame time away from work as intentional forward motion, not damage control.

I’m Kate Kirchner, a career strategist with 20 years of experience, and I help job seekers turn resumes and job search strategies into interviews. Also, I was a stay-at-home mom myself when my kids were young, so this really resonates with me!
