ASK FOR FRIEND Profile : Digital Logic Design Due to covid family emergency, she had to move to India for 8 months. Quitting her job. And now she is back job hunting. Her old company is not hiring due budget. Market is down and too much competition. With many unsuccessful attempts now the GAP in work exp is increased to 1.5 years. Please provide a recommendation on how she can fill this GAP? We have a feeling because of gap, her resume is not shortlisted. #hardware #interview #semiconductor
Taking care of sick/dying family member.
I don't see much issue. I have seen case where a girl worked for 2 years, took leave for 3 years for her baby. She gave interview and the company even sponsored her H1B. Although market might not be the best at the moment. Depends on skills and past experience of the friend in question.
Just say you need to take care of your family
How many YOE at all? I do not think gap is an issue and need to be filled with some made-up excuse.
Just say worked for stealth startup that failed
Nothing wrong with having a gap. Only shit companies will mind.
Get someone/a friend with a registered company, preferably with social media presence(website at the least) and claim she worked there as a contractor.
