✅ “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” — Confucius

✅ If you have a gap in your employment history, the first thing to know is that you are not alone. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the vast majority of people have been unemployed at some point in their working-age lives.

✅ There is nothing wrong with having a gap between jobs. For many people, this gap is a wonderful and exciting time to grow, slow down, reposition, follow passions, and shirk routine.

✅ Today the job market shifts at an incredible pace. Rapid innovation means that new industries are created every year — industries that require nimble job candidates who can learn quickly, adapt, and cater their experience to new roles as they become prevalent.

✅ Even if a gap was not part of the plan, it should not affect your marketability to a future employer. Times have changed, and an employee can still be loyal and committed even if they do not work every day of their adult life.
