Need to take 5 months off. How best to explain the gap on resume(

Jul 22, 2021 13 Comments

Need to take 5 months off for some family and personal stuff. I don’t want to use FMLA. I want to quit. Will also be doing a lot of interview prep.

What is the best way to explain this on a resume? Ideas:
1. Form my own LLC, issue my own w2 and say I’m working for a startup
2. Say I’m a freelancer
3. Say I’m a contractor (I’ve seen this idea on other blind posts but I don’t know what it means)
4. Leave the gap open, don’t try to explain it
