How do I explain a 1-year gap on my resume?
Keep it short and honest: one line, like "Career break: family" or "Career break: travel and study". Then put your energy into what you did right before and right after. In interviews, say it in one sentence and move on to why you're excited about this job. Want me to write that line for you?
