Let’s just start out by stating that a gap in resume is normal. Everyone has them. But when it comes to providing an employment gap explanation…Well, everyone doesn’t have those.
Gracefully providing employment gap reasons is an incredibly useful skill. In this podcast edition we break down the various reasons for employment and career gaps. The goal is to assist Job Seekers when it comes to articulate their employment gap explanation.
As well as assist Hiring Managers when it comes to better understanding what employment and career gaps make an applicant a stronger candidate (and which ones don’t).

Good timely blog. I have been searching for a CRA position for a little over a month now and was starting to wonder if I need may to add an employment gap explanation soon. This blog provided some useful insight.
I absolutely understand. Several larger organizations (like Boehringer) have shifted gears in their hiring methodologies and that has caused several excellent CRAs to be without a position. Couple that with the current industry lull, gaps are inevitable.
An agency with a solid network within clinical research will understand those gaps (and the trends that led up to them). So just be transparent and there shouldn’t be a problem.
I really appreciate your post!
