When your employer takes a look at your resume and finds out that there were times that you have taken a looong vacation, he may look at you quizzically and wonder about your dedication to work. How do you explain the breaks you took? Read on for clues:
Children – You may have had a kid or two to take care of. If so, say that you took classes and skill building activities while on maternal or paternal leave to show them that you plan to return to work.
Education – If you hit the books again, don’t be afraid to tell the employer when and why you did so. Employers want smart employees.
Retirement – If you have already retired but decided to work again, highlight your wisdom, experience and dedication to continue working.
