QUESTION 36 OF 40

Looking at your resume, I see multiple gaps between employments. What were you doing during those gaps?

"That wasn't by choice. There was a fire at the location I was working at and they had to shut down the facility for repairs during that period. Then when they brought us all back on board, there was some confusion about their grand reopening, and they'd over-staffed. Then they let half of us go again. It was a bummer. Onwards and upwards is the only way."

There are many valid reasons for employment gaps. It's typically best to be transparent about the reasons. Examine the life events that played a role. However, best to avoid examples where you voluntarily quit your job without lining up another one. This will only serve to suggest you are a poor planner with a limited scope of the big-picture.
