James Caan – It’s everybody’s worst nightmare when they are asked the question: Why is there a gap on your CV? I have spoken to many people who are going for interviews and absolutely dread being asked about periods of time when they weren’t in work. However people may have a gap on their CV for a variety of reasons. This can be due to travelling, poor health, family reasons or perhaps you were made redundant. Admittedly there can be a tendency amongst some employers to overlook candidates that have noticeable periods of time without work. https://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140327105250-32175171-how-to-explain-a-gap-on-your-cv?trk=tod-home-art-list-small_3
