"I had a gap from 2009-2010 while I was on maternity leave and then another for six months in 2015 while I cared for an ailing parent. During that time I was vigilant in keeping up to date on the market so that my knowledge did not become redundant."

"Any gaps in my employment are for a good reason. I was laid off during the recession in 2011 and then again in 2016 when my temporary contract came to an end. I am looking for a position now with long-term security."
