Employment gaps need to be acknowledged — but they shouldn't be the focus of your resume. We structure your experience so hiring managers see your value, not your time away.
Strategic Positioning
Gaps are more common than you think — and less damaging than you fear, when handled correctly.
Whatever your reason, we've helped someone in a similar situation.
Layoffs happen to good people at good companies. We focus on your accomplishments and what you did during the gap.
You don't need to disclose details. A simple "career break for personal reasons" is enough. We focus on your readiness to return.
Raising children or caring for family is legitimate. We acknowledge it appropriately and emphasize skills you maintained.
Returning to school or taking intentional time off shows planning. We position this as investment in yourself.
Extended travel or personal projects can be framed positively. We highlight what you learned and how you've grown.
Entrepreneurship and contract work ending are normal. We focus on skills gained, not the ending.
The goal isn't to hide gaps — it's to ensure they don't become the focus. We restructure your resume so hiring managers see your value first.
Employers understand that life happens. What they want to see is that you're ready, capable, and enthusiastic about returning to work. We help you demonstrate exactly that.
Schedule Your InterviewNever. Background checks, reference calls, and LinkedIn make lies easy to catch. Honesty with strategic positioning is always better.

Yes, briefly. One or two sentences acknowledging it, then pivot to your enthusiasm and qualifications. Don't dwell on it.
That's okay. Not every gap needs to be filled with activity. We focus on your previous accomplishments and current readiness instead.
Probably. We can discuss how to answer those questions during your consultation. The key is a confident, brief answer that redirects to your value.
Functional resumes often raise red flags. We typically use a hybrid approach that leads with skills but still shows chronology.
Your gap doesn't define you. Let's create a resume that shows employers what you're capable of.
