How To Explain Gaps In Your Employment In An Interview

How do I explain gaps in my employment?

Gaps in your employment can actually be a positive thing, if you explain these gaps in your employment by saying that you were taking a sabbatical, if you were volunteering, if you were doing an internship, if you were going back to school. Take that potentially negative perception and put a positive spin on it. Gaps in employment don't have to be a bad thing at all, as long as you can point to something positive that you were doing to improve yourself, your knowledge, and your skill at that time.
