My friend had a gap of 2 years since his last job. He wants to apply again but isn’t getting much calls. How to handle this gap in resume and questioning to get a job.

He was going through personal issues during this time period and didn’t do anything at that time.

Please advise.

    Ask him to replace that with startup opportunity and not address it as gap. Perception in the industry matter more than intrinsic value.

    Does this makes you a liar? Yes. Does it make it you a fraud? Yes. Is it important for survival? It’s up to you to decide.

    I just want to tell you companies do lie about many more things and get away with it.

    He needs referrals and a solid headline on his resume making up for the gap.

    I'd recommend lowering expectations and trying to get a job as a stepping stone. It could be a subpar company or a contract role. But it's an opportunity to prove himself.
