I think we weren't born on this earth just to maintain a good cv. We have personal life as well. Even if we took a break to travel, startup etc I think one should stand confidently, because life is what one must design on our self.
*In India career gap is very common as many people after graduation prepares for govt services and gives minimum 2-3 years of his life to crack that exam while only 1% people do crack. Corporate Industry should accept these reality to consider. Every human seeks stability and good work life balance. Many Private corporates have huge issue with work life balance and toxic relationship inside the corporate premise which triggers attrition and people leave the job either to start preparing for govt service or some other company which provides them good work life balance and healthy office culture. In last many companies got exposed online for the toxic work culture inside* office .Example : Byjus , Infosys etc Pandemic has proved that human beings have reached the highest level of taking pressure and is no longer ready to lose mental health for extra dollars.They are either upskilling or shifting to preparation of govt service India is a pool of talents but just by rejecting someone for career gap is not an wise option for corporates to retain talents. May be the rejected candidate could become star performer if absorbed. HR ' team are supposed to read the psychology of the candidate whether he/she can do the job or not if trained well and providing conductive environment. But sadly Indian HR's are trained with old methodology to choose a candidate .Our society is changing everyday and getting matured.HR should also analyse the society structural changes happening
100 percent correct.. I was impacted due to such criterias even after having great academics criteria and resorted in small scale and mid size companies as they considered gaps and helped to grow a lot after 2008 recession career gap and as a guidance less candidate post passed out
Post Covid, career gap has become a common thing..even with many male employees. People are paying more attention to family member's health over their jobs. Because sabattical leaves are not approved in many cases.So you will have to leave the job to take care of your family member
Her content showcases honesty in every minute. I can relate to the situation because I've gone through the career gap experience. I left my corporate job and started my own business but eventually, I won't survive it for long and I had to quit. Now after several months, I got a job in my industry again.
I have career gap. I'm quite ok-ish in Electronics (my degree). My many friends got job in 7th semester only in mass recruiting companies, I couldn't somehow (at one point later I noticed there wasn't "next round" button for english comprehension, it was "end test" button). Then I couldn't make till after giving 8th semester exam. Then somehow I got one (private IT job), there weren't trainers for my current batch. Seniors used to make vidoes which was like 2 to 5% & we had to figure out rest by ourselves. So, I quit, thinking if I put efforts somewhere else, I'd get better. Then I spent 2 years in government job preparation. Missed by 15 to 18 rank. Back to search for private job again. Again couldn't find private job because there was overhiring in last 2 years... So... I'm going back to govt job preparation 😤😤 screw it, what you think govt job aspirants stories end up with private job? 😤 no, I cannot get/find getting a private job either 😤 Screw IT industry, mass layoffs, staying up to date & all nonsense. You guys' field looks worse than govt job competition, "Fast paced environment", "quick learning", "eager to learn technology quickly" & F you non sense, can't even see impact on society. Whereas impact of Electrical engineers is directly seen in society at any instance of time.
I am also from EE bro. Most of my friends are working in different companies. I resigned from a mnc due to health issues. Not yet recovered from it. Feeling very low, low confidence.. because of health issues. Also, none of my so called close friends talking to me like earlier.
im having 15+ yrs experience & was working for 10 yrs in a co., due to pandemic the co. branch closed in my area, so i tried for job in diff fields, n also started learning a new skill online now its 2 yrs of employment gap, just today got a call from a placement consultant, the person was just highlighting the gap negatively bfore understanding anything..it was as if a person is unemployable if he/she has a career gap due to any reason whatsoever.. rather than knowing the required skill for the job..just saw your video and found helpful
Amazing video.I think one way It’s better to mention career gap in resume under that career gap section you can justify your gap and what professional development/ up skilling you have done in that period . Now a days some recruiters are understanding your career gap .
Very nice video and it is encouraging for many candidates who lacks confidence. I too lacked confidence long time ago but I have overcome it and I am super confident and super focus on my skills and interviews. This video will definitely help those who undergo that stage, thank you for sharing this video.
You are very right, when people have career gap they blame the rejection on it !! But society around, recruitment teams and interviewers also contribute in that thinking. Resume Shortlisting gets drastically reduced if you have a Gap, Interview is a distant thing. May be if Orgs can convey this to people , who are unemployed bcoz they were laid off or have left their Job for Personal reasons or for learning new things or for any other reason, that Gap is not an issue in their process. Infact after Gap I realized my energy was doubled in the next Job bcoz I learnt multiple new things , managed multiple things at Personal front.
Thank you ma'am, for motivating everyone, as I myself had a career gap of more than a year and have been applying for every job but not getting any reply from the company... I was getting lost but this video will definitely help me in getting my confidence back...
All stupid policies are with Service based companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL etc. They look at everything beside skills. 90% of the tech employees(including senior techs) in these companies cannot even tell the configuration of their computer. Still they are hired.
I give you a very live example, I shared my resume with one consultant for Delhi Duly Free company for a Quality Manager profile. I got the initial call from the Delhi Duty-Free HR team after 15-20 minutes of discussion she said to me that my profile is ok and she will schedule 2nd round of interviews with her Sr. HR Manager. Even after a week, I didn't receive a call from HR then I took a follow-up with the consultant. She said my profile was not shortlisted, I told her as per the JD, I have relevant experience and certification namely ISO 9001, LEAN, Six Sigma, TQM, etc. I simply asked why that HR lie to you after 1st round of the interview even after considering my profile initially and telephonic interview. I have observed that most HR professionals are unable to measure a person's performance during interviews and not ever giving proper feedback and discussion.
MNCs needs to relax career gap criteria like 2 yr allowed n all ..if you don't allow people will find other companies..so needs to relax year gap criteria . Thx for such criterias as helped to join mid size ,small scale resulted in 5-6x 📈 and now ready to retire early ..thx MNCs not allowing entry to potential candidates candidates only due to such criterias and 2008 recession which created career gap with eligible academics
I have seen many types of career gaps. A woman taking career gap for having kids is just normal, I don't think anyone thinks too much of it. But I have seen men take gaps to tour the world or something. Sometimes they say they were sick but there is no medical record of that; they just did not work because it was hard. You can only have confidence if you yourself know that you had a genuine cause.
But why men shouldn't go for Holidays, is it a sin if you are trying to have a lone time? they say they were sick because you won't accept the real fact that they went for a holiday for a year to explore, because people like you are the real culprits who think men shouldn't do stuff like that....
I took interview for a bunch of ppl, shortlisted 3 ppl and gave to my manager for second round. My manager (old company) rejected the guy with career gap just by seeing the timelines of each job. I asked reason,…. Which he did not give satisfactory answer. I did not like his work ethics….. in a few months I moved out. Good Leaders overlook these stuff….. mediocre ones sadly still cling to them.
I have completed B.E (Mechanical ) IN 2018 and I have completed software testing course and I am looking for job in testing but due to my gap after graduation i.e 4yr I'm finding it hard to get a job. Can you please give some suggestions
Okey i was almost the same till last month. It took me 4-5 months of hard prep for selecting again. And go for little less money. Like 20-25k ctc you will get a job and after 1 year make a switch.
ab employers chahte hain ki banda bina ruke job hi karta rahe. Insaan hain bhai last job se exhaust ho jaate hain log 1-2 months ka gap toh ho hi jaata hai uspe bhi sawaal uthaate hain 😐 Machine thodi na hain hum, ya fir robots hire karlo 😶
Thanks a ton mam i was in verge of giving up . You always motivate me.n others too, ppl around me also added to decision of giving up. Ur my inspiration.lots of love n Best wishes 40k corporate dairies family.
Can we straight away convey that the company has shut down it's operation and we have been informed to explore other opportunities and seeking actively for new job?! Will this be accepted by HR?
@@theCorporateDiaries I have 2 years gap after 12 th so will it affects me while getting jobs in IT companies these gap years are due to pre medical preparation
its essentiual to mention the reason for carrer gap on resume i belive if the reason is geniune such as ( taking care of your dependant or any health issues reasons such as going overseas for fun can be a no non for mentioining on the resume )
Thanks a lot ma'm,... Even I have got around 1 year gap.. And i am on the way to become a rational person (earlier I was lost... Needed a psychiatrist help) but your video helps a lot.. Solves many issues which I have in my mind..
I just want you to know, you are amazing. Thank you for all that you do! I do have a question. If one is coming back to workforce via a return to work program, is there a possibility of negotiation at all or does it depend on the employer?
Mam sorry but ultimately am i not lying to the interviewer, inspite of having 3 years of gap how can i hide it, because I'll have to mention in the resume my last working period.
I almost lost hope because of my Career gap, and was getting thought of killing myself. But thanks to you ma'am, you gave me hope. Btw I'm a full stack developer
I left my prvious company where I used to work as an CS executive. I wanted to pursue a career in IT. But nothing went according to my plan. I learnt DevOps but no one is hiring freshers (I couldn't afford for any paid coaching and certifications). Now my financial situation is dire and i'm looking for jobs. I got rejected in 2 companies because of the career gap. I don't understand if I've to lie or tell the truth. Can someone help ?
I always thought is it really tough to get a job and after a very long time pretty much I realised that companies don't give a fuck about people who is having a year gap. I lost my 5 precious years and I'm still trying to get a job. I asked friends, close relatives and other people who are in contact, they all abandoned me. I came from an electronics engineering branch.but I have done a mern stack course but after done that course it couldn't land me a job after two years till now. I'm going through a very difficult phase of my life. In future I don't know what will happen to me so I keep on trying and if fate wants me to suffer then I suffer. There is nothing I can do anymore. I did what I had in me and I don't think I can live long because fate doesn't want me alive. Gap years or don't it doesn't matter to me anymore. Because people in this fucking world don't give a fuck about anyone else. Their first priority to save their job.and they promise that they will get you job but in reality don't give fuck about because they think about ourselves and try to be in connect with you to use you
Mam, I have a career gap of 4yrs. And planning to start back my career into It field. Uploaded resumes everywhere , getting calls as well but most importantly interviewer’s directly ask about notice period and current working company details in that case we have to mention about gap . And once we mention about gap , interviewer will disconnect the call by saying “ oh ok , in this case i am sorry I need to check with the team” and here itself I m losing my confidence.
I need a little help from the experienced people out there. Pls do bear with me till the end 🙏😅 So I'm a fresher of 2022 batch passout in cse, and right now have two offers in hand, first one say company A, offer is in the field of react js which I wanted/interested in, but the payout for initial 6 months is a little less and also have 2 years of bond, whereas company B, also hiring for frontend role has a payout of around 10k more that the company A for the same 6 months, but here catch is they can change the domain any time they want to, say convert me to a c# or java developer according to their need, and also their full time conversion rate is 20-25% only. So basically most probably after 6 months they'll remove. So in a situation like this which offer letter should I pick, considering in mind that recession might hit in upcoming times, thus finding a job might be even tougher than now. Also, sticking to react js and later mern stack is a better option or shifting to c# (say) is better despite having no interest in it,(only that pay is good if get selected after 6 months in company B) Thanks for reading till now, and will be waiting for your valuable feedback.
Faced this due to career gap after 2008 recession..but small scale,mid scale companies considered and keep srching you will get ..now I am rejecting MNCs as they can't provide the expected CTC now
I am mother of 2 ..my elder babygirl is 2.5 years old..younger baby girl is 1year old.. my career gap is almost 4 years... i am thinking to applying jobs after 3years.. thank u so much this video is helped me alot.. i will start practicing regarding Interviews ...

Thankyou mam for such a Helpful motivation,Coz I myself had a Career Gap, Iam a Trainee Currently and Because of that iam Feeling Anxious about my Job selection, And my Suggestion is Please Also make a video Upon Controlling of Anxiety in the Interviews !!!
Thank you mam for such wonderful video!! my previous Company added me in pip after one month they removed me.I complited only 9 month in my previous Company and I have total experience of 3.5 year.From last 1-2 month I AM searching for new job so how to justify this gap of 1-2 month in between
Mam before COVID. I joined coaching but after a month whole dehli was closed . So i was stuck next year again coaching started after 10 day second wave of COVID 19 strike again dehli was closed till nov . After that before my exam my father met with accident so i have to further extend my gap .now I am facing same problem in interview ? And very much confused what I should do
In India..career gap is still very much a taboo and its somehow considered legit for women but for men its like some sacrilege..some sin which the man has committed ..its not jus about finding a job while you are unemployed due to a gap..evn if u find one and later you want to switch..u r interrogated a lot abt d gap in cv..evn if u vud b currently working in d same firm for 2-3 years. ...Gaps cant be gender or orientation specific..High time the DEI champions make it a point to do focussd hiring for any1 with gaps or wud like to return to workforce irrspctv of d 'marginalized group status' 🙄
But I still don't agree. Most big Companies do discriminate on basis of gap specially males. My profile is not shortlisted because of gap. But there are good companies who judge you on basis of your skills
I work at HCL Technologies for North America Talent Acquisition team and now its been 4 years working nights shifts. Is it possible for me to switch to Indian Corporate Hiring i.e. Day shift and will companies going to consider me ? Please answer mam 🙏
I am currently working as a manual software tester and I need a career transition either to something and currently it's been 1 yr 6 months... During my training I learnt and practiced automation testing related skill and I need to reskill them as it has been so long. But that reskilling becomes hard for me as I work from home at 10Am to 10 Pm and on weekends I used to go or spend time for distance education.. so I choose to resign and during the notice period of reskilling them... But looking for a job after LWD is not correct, according to many people... Leading this I feel like I would get some career gap!! Are there any incidents or will it be possible if I can get a job after a few months, as I applied to post my LWD? And can this reason for the question "why is there a career gap?" Acceptable by the interviewers?
I learned through this video that you are a mother as well. So during that period of career gap for 2 years for maternity, were you doing some other kind of work ??

Unfortunately, the most successful venture got shut down due to covid. Would you be able to suggest some additional points, for job seekers with more than 6 years gap. Would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Let me share my experience. I gave up preparing civil services in the mid of September 22. (Gap of 4.5 years) It took me 3 months to join. Starting from the beginning again. At the beginning you feel guilty, lost everything, feeling of lost everything... BUT think positive and go ahead with new attitude. Everything goes well. "It's not a BIG deal!" You can ask your doubts. Will be happy to answer. 😊
That's great. Can you please tell me how to start your career after having no results in government exams and a gap of 2 years? Corporate sector is more likely to ask questions on the gap and reject us. the guilt makes me lack confidence in yourself.
@@bhushanjadhav9781 I have 2 years gap after 12 th so will it affects me while getting jobs in IT companies these gap years are due to pre medical preparation
@@krishnapriya45112 years gap in between academics is given an exception but more than 2.6 years you are not going to be shortlisted by TCS and homegrown MNCs.

Hi Varsha, Your videos are very motivational and to the point. I like your content and it's very apt.. I'm a very polite follower of your yt channel.. I had a query, please give me some suggestion🙏🏻 I'm a BE (EEE)graduate of 2009.. I totally have 1 year of teaching experience and 2 years as HR Recruiter.. Now, am on maternity break of 5 years.. Thinking of getting back to work by this year end.. Meanwhile during this break, i did career counselor certification and now pursuing diploma in general guidance and counseling.. I'm confused if I can get into HR job or thinking of getting into technical (either Vmware or SAP), so that I can earn more.. Please help me decide with your valuable suggestion.. Thank you in advance
Dear Vmware & SAP are not exactly the HR jobs, and you might be surprised to know that earning is more or less same, earning doesn't depend on the skill, it depends on how good are you at that skill. So you can definitely start your career in HR and choose a field basis your interest, rather than assumptions.
I was into banking later I left that job to build my career in IT but that didn't work after 6 months I again went back to join banking sector how can I explain this to my interviewer,
Mam I have heard this due to career gap post COVID lockdown People have told me directly that what special u can do so that we must hire you Are you alien? So it is bad Yes mam see me only every company selects me but in the last stage every company rejected me plus they have also spread that not to appoint me at all So bad
Not sure if i will get a reply for this comment... having a gap of 3 to 6 months .. ( just to take care of my self both mentally and physically) will this affect my further career?

Well said my brother..
I can't even understand why career gaps matter to company.
*In India career gap is very common as many people after graduation prepares for govt services and gives minimum 2-3 years of his life to crack that exam while only 1% people do crack. Corporate Industry should accept these reality to consider. Every human seeks stability and good work life balance. Many Private corporates have huge issue with work life balance and toxic relationship inside the corporate premise which triggers attrition and people leave the job either to start preparing for govt service or some other company which provides them good work life balance and healthy office culture. In last many companies got exposed online for the toxic work culture inside* office .Example : Byjus , Infosys etc
Pandemic has proved that human beings have reached the highest level of taking pressure and is no longer ready to lose mental health for extra dollars.They are either upskilling or shifting to preparation of govt service
India is a pool of talents but just by rejecting someone for career gap is not an wise option for corporates to retain talents. May be the rejected candidate could become star performer if absorbed. HR ' team are supposed to read the psychology of the candidate whether he/she can do the job or not if trained well and providing conductive environment. But sadly Indian HR's are trained with old methodology to choose a candidate .Our society is changing everyday and getting matured.HR should also analyse the society structural changes happening

No, it's a very old stupid concept with companies not only after Covid. It's there since 2000

Career gaps are accepted for women employee but not for men.
Yes because women have other major roles in their life as well. that's why most organisations encourage new mothers to join them.

Good Leaders overlook these stuff….. mediocre ones sadly still cling to them.
100%....right...
I have completed B.E (Mechanical ) IN 2018 and I have completed software testing course and I am looking for job in testing but due to my gap after graduation i.e 4yr I'm finding it hard to get a job. Can you please give some suggestions
Did you get
Show last four year as experience in testing only.
Okey i was almost the same till last month. It took me 4-5 months of hard prep for selecting again. And go for little less money. Like 20-25k ctc you will get a job and after 1 year make a switch.
ab employers chahte hain ki banda bina ruke job hi karta rahe. Insaan hain bhai last job se exhaust ho jaate hain log 1-2 months ka gap toh ho hi jaata hai uspe bhi sawaal uthaate hain 😐
Machine thodi na hain hum, ya fir robots hire karlo 😶

Can we straight away convey that the company has shut down it's operation and we have been informed to explore other opportunities and seeking actively for new job?! Will this be accepted by HR?
@@theCorporateDiaries I have 2 years gap after 12 th so will it affects me while getting jobs in IT companies these gap years are due to pre medical preparation
its essentiual to mention the reason for carrer gap on resume i belive if the reason is geniune such as ( taking care of your dependant or any health issues reasons such as going overseas for fun can be a no non for mentioining on the resume )
Thanks a lot ma'm,... Even I have got around 1 year gap.. And i am on the way to become a rational person (earlier I was lost... Needed a psychiatrist help) but your video helps a lot.. Solves many issues which I have in my mind..
Very informative video for career gap candidates like me..thank you thq so much for this motivation.
Thanking the author for creating such informative video, that gave confidence to people with career gaps. 👍
You deserve million subs mam and thanks for sharing your knowledge
We need to change stereotypeness in our day to day life.
Thank you so much for making this channel, God bless!!
I just want you to know, you are amazing. Thank you for all that you do! I do have a question. If one is coming back to workforce via a return to work program, is there a possibility of negotiation at all or does it depend on the employer?
Mam sorry but ultimately am i not lying to the interviewer, inspite of having 3 years of gap how can i hide it, because I'll have to mention in the resume my last working period.
I almost lost hope because of my Career gap, and was getting thought of killing myself. But thanks to you ma'am, you gave me hope. Btw I'm a full stack developer
I left my prvious company where I used to work as an CS executive. I wanted to pursue a career in IT. But nothing went according to my plan. I learnt DevOps but no one is hiring freshers (I couldn't afford for any paid coaching and certifications). Now my financial situation is dire and i'm looking for jobs. I got rejected in 2 companies because of the career gap. I don't understand if I've to lie or tell the truth. Can someone help ?
By the way, this lady is doing great job ❤
I always thought is it really tough to get a job and after a very long time pretty much I realised that companies don't give a fuck about people who is having a year gap. I lost my 5 precious years and I'm still trying to get a job. I asked friends, close relatives and other people who are in contact, they all abandoned me. I came from an electronics engineering branch.but I have done a mern stack course but after done that course it couldn't land me a job after two years till now. I'm going through a very difficult phase of my life. In future I don't know what will happen to me so I keep on trying and if fate wants me to suffer then I suffer. There is nothing I can do anymore. I did what I had in me and I don't think I can live long because fate doesn't want me alive. Gap years or don't it doesn't matter to me anymore. Because people in this fucking world don't give a fuck about anyone else. Their first priority to save their job.and they promise that they will get you job but in reality don't give fuck about because they think about ourselves and try to be in connect with you to use you
Bro how can i contact you? Please i need to ask you something very important
Most fruitful channel and video. Best wishes for the magnificent work which you are doing for the industry.
Thanks for sharing.... I was scared bcoz of my 1.3 yr gap
Very sorry to say Maam such comments discourage people...your words are really inspiring
Will select first candidates because now a days every companies want immediate joinee
Thankyou. You are so right on with everything!
I have a career gap ......n its a awesome video mam ....even I think the same thing.....not guilty at all about gap 😎
Mam, I have a career gap of 4yrs. And planning to start back my career into It field. Uploaded resumes everywhere , getting calls as well but most importantly interviewer’s directly ask about notice period and current working company details in that case we have to mention about gap . And once we mention about gap , interviewer will disconnect the call by saying “ oh ok , in this case i am sorry I need to check with the team” and here itself I m losing my confidence.
there is really not oter joice but lie about that. I have 3 years and its impossible. Am I really being forced into being an intern at age of30?
Thank you so much Varsha , really awesome information , true inspiration for all the mothers and ladies especially who want to get back to Job :)
I need a little help from the experienced people out there. Pls do bear with me till the end 🙏😅
So I'm a fresher of 2022 batch passout in cse, and right now have two offers in hand, first one say company A, offer is in the field of react js which I wanted/interested in, but the payout for initial 6 months is a little less and also have 2 years of bond, whereas company B, also hiring for frontend role has a payout of around 10k more that the company A for the same 6 months, but here catch is they can change the domain any time they want to, say convert me to a c# or java developer according to their need, and also their full time conversion rate is 20-25% only. So basically most probably after 6 months they'll remove.
So in a situation like this which offer letter should I pick, considering in mind that recession might hit in upcoming times, thus finding a job might be even tougher than now.
Also, sticking to react js and later mern stack is a better option or shifting to c# (say) is better despite having no interest in it,(only that pay is good if get selected after 6 months in company B)
Thanks for reading till now, and will be waiting for your valuable feedback.
Really thank you varsha for sharing your experience
Thank u. This video is very useful for build confidence after career gap
Thank you soo much Mam... It is helpful to land job after career gap, I will not all the points which you have mentioned
U r very positive maam otherswise this world only demotivate us.
In Honesty, with 1 year career gap, the interviews are scheduled very rare. I think HR still considers career gap for not shortlisting the cadidates.
Faced this due to career gap after 2008 recession..but small scale,mid scale companies considered and keep srching you will get ..now I am rejecting MNCs as they can't provide the expected CTC now
I am mother of 2 ..my elder babygirl is 2.5 years old..younger baby girl is 1year old.. my career gap is almost 4 years... i am thinking to applying jobs after 3years.. thank u so much this video is helped me alot.. i will start practicing regarding Interviews ...
All the best dear!
@@theCorporateDiaries Thank you...
I took a career gap of 4 years for public service examination.
8:29 candidate 1 because although he has a gap he can still move ahead.. candidate 2 is not the one i will select.
Marvellous point..... thank you so much.
I do have career gaps and I've given multiple interviews and got rejected multiple times but not even a single time I got rejected because of the career gaps.
🤣🤣🤣 how do you know that?
Love the way you clear the concepts ❤
Thank you for sharing very valuable information.
Thankyou mam for such a Helpful motivation,Coz I myself had a Career Gap, Iam a Trainee Currently and Because of that iam Feeling Anxious about my Job selection, And my Suggestion is Please Also make a video Upon Controlling of Anxiety in the Interviews !!!
Bro u working as a trainee where?
I have 2 years gap after 12 th so will it affects me while getting jobs in IT companies these gap years are due to pre medical preparation
After saw your video I am very confident thanks
Thank you mam for such wonderful video!! my previous Company added me in pip after one month they removed me.I complited only 9 month in my previous Company and I have total experience of 3.5 year.From last 1-2 month I AM searching for new job so how to justify this gap of 1-2 month in between
HR people should look for a talented people instead of seeing their employment gap. Everyone have unique talent.
Hi ma'am .. ur videos gives me so much confidence !! Thank u
Plz do make a lil detaild video on forming resumes with gap as dis most imp part.
Mam before COVID. I joined coaching but after a month whole dehli was closed . So i was stuck next year again coaching started after 10 day second wave of COVID 19 strike again dehli was closed till nov .
After that before my exam my father met with accident so i have to further extend my gap .now I am facing same problem in interview ?
And very much confused what I should do
In India..career gap is still very much a taboo and its somehow considered legit for women but for men its like some sacrilege..some sin which the man has committed ..its not jus about finding a job while you are unemployed due to a gap..evn if u find one and later you want to switch..u r interrogated a lot abt d gap in cv..evn if u vud b currently working in d same firm for 2-3 years. ...Gaps cant be gender or orientation specific..High time the DEI champions make it a point to do focussd hiring for any1 with gaps or wud like to return to workforce irrspctv of d 'marginalized group status' 🙄
Hi varsha. Due to some personal reasons, I had quit my job. Now planning to work from home. Pls guide me how to switch to home based job.
But I still don't agree.
Most big Companies do discriminate on basis of gap specially males. My profile is not shortlisted because of gap. But there are good companies who judge you on basis of your skills
Excellent content ❤
Thank you mam, really motivated ❤
your english is soo perfect.. loved it a lotttt .. thank you so much
Hi Varsha thank you for this inspiring video .
Yes i have heard this from TCS
I work at HCL Technologies for North America Talent Acquisition team and now its been 4 years working nights shifts. Is it possible for me to switch to Indian Corporate Hiring i.e. Day shift and will companies going to consider me ?
Please answer mam 🙏
Nicely explained. Great advise.
I am currently working as a manual software tester and I need a career transition either to something and currently it's been 1 yr 6 months... During my training I learnt and practiced automation testing related skill and I need to reskill them as it has been so long. But that reskilling becomes hard for me as I work from home at 10Am to 10 Pm and on weekends I used to go or spend time for distance education.. so I choose to resign and during the notice period of reskilling them... But looking for a job after LWD is not correct, according to many people... Leading this I feel like I would get some career gap!! Are there any incidents or will it be possible if I can get a job after a few months, as I applied to post my LWD? And can this reason for the question "why is there a career gap?" Acceptable by the interviewers?
Were you able to get the job ?
I learned through this video that you are a mother as well. So during that period of career gap for 2 years for maternity, were you doing some other kind of work ??
Ma'am ,I was waiting for this information .thank you for sharing your knowledge🙏
I have career gap of 5 years because i was preparing for civil service exams.I should mention this when i will be giving my introduction that what i did after the graduation or i should tell thia only when they ask about why i had career gap.

Dear, only mention about the Gap, when you are asked about it... never treat it as something important.. talk more about your relevant skills..

Thank you so much for the detailed points. It really helps. I have a gap of six years and had undertaken three entrepreneurial ventures. Unfortunately, the most successful venture got shut down due to covid. Would you be able to suggest some additional points, for job seekers with more than 6 years gap. Would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
Hey
Cna we connect on TG?
I have internship with Deloitte USI for 1 year now this will be considered as experience right or i will be fresher?
Dear, it will be considered, if you have done some tangible work in that time, not just worked for a report to be submitted for college.
As a fresher due to not getting selected I created a career gap in my career
I have an issue that i have shortlisted in xyz company but when I was filing my registration form of that company they mentioned that no year gap should not be in your education, but i have one year gap after my 10th , could anyone help me what will happen? Will i reject in document verification?
Please help me 🙏

Let me share my experience.
I gave up preparing civil services in the mid of September 22. (Gap of 4.5 years)
It took me 3 months to join. Starting from the beginning again. At the beginning you feel guilty, lost everything, feeling of lost everything... BUT think positive and go ahead with new attitude. Everything goes well.
"It's not a BIG deal!"
You can ask your doubts. Will be happy to answer. 😊
That's great. Can you please tell me how to start your career after having no results in government exams and a gap of 2 years? Corporate sector is more likely to ask questions on the gap and reject us. the guilt makes me lack confidence in yourself.
Great 🔥 Can you plz share that did you mention the reason for your gap in the resume or you directly shared it in the interview
My schedule is quite busy.... Will reply you in few days... I will reply in details. Plz wait.

Hi Varsha,
Your videos are very motivational and to the point. I like your content and it's very apt.. I'm a very polite follower of your yt channel.. I had a query, please give me some suggestion🙏🏻
I'm a BE (EEE)graduate of 2009.. I totally have 1 year of teaching experience and 2 years as HR Recruiter.. Now, am on maternity break of 5 years.. Thinking of getting back to work by this year end.. Meanwhile during this break, i did career counselor certification and now pursuing diploma in general guidance and counseling.. I'm confused if I can get into HR job or thinking of getting into technical (either Vmware or SAP), so that I can earn more.. Please help me decide with your valuable suggestion..
Thank you in advance
Dear Vmware & SAP are not exactly the HR jobs, and you might be surprised to know that earning is more or less same, earning doesn't depend on the skill, it depends on how good are you at that skill. So you can definitely start your career in HR and choose a field basis your interest, rather than assumptions.
I was into banking later I left that job to build my career in IT but that didn't work after 6 months I again went back to join banking sector how can I explain this to my interviewer,
Ma'am i have 4 years gap between 12th and btech cse.Now i am in 2nd year.Will i be eligible to sit for on campus interview??
Mam
I have heard this due to career gap post COVID lockdown
People have told me directly that what special u can do so that we must hire you
Are you alien? So it is bad
Yes mam see me only every company selects me but in the last stage every company rejected me plus they have also spread that not to appoint me at all
So bad
Not sure if i will get a reply for this comment... having a gap of 3 to 6 months .. ( just to take care of my self both mentally and physically) will this affect my further career?
