Are you a divorced job seeker worried about gaps on your resume?

Over the years, I have worked with separated and divorced men and women who suddenly find themselves on their own and in need of a job. It is not unusual for one spouse to drop out of the workplace for a number of years in order to nurture and raise their children – and then find they have to suddenly support themselves and find a full-time job as a result of going through a divorce. The number one question I’m asked in this situation is “How should I deal with employment gaps on my resume?” As you can imagine, gaps in employment are a concern for job seekers as well as prospective employers. It can determine whether or not you get to the next stage of the job search and get called in for an interview.

To find out what my response is to that question, read my guest blog post, http://journeybeyonddivorce.com/blogs/are-you-a-divorced-job-seeker-worried-about-employment-gaps-on-your-resume -  which can be found on the Journey Beyond Divorce blog.
