Dear Sam: I have a question about approaching a career gap on my resume. The last job I included on my resume was through the first summer of the pandemic. After that, I held a couple of short-term jobs, but I haven’t included them on my resume as they didn’t work out, and I left them to pursue full-time work. Of course not including them leaves me with a 4-year gap in my work history from 2020-2024. I would like to know if the gap will hinder me from finding work or if it would be better to include those short-term roles unrelated to my career. On top of that, I also don’t remember how long or when I worked those jobs. – H.L.Dear H.L.: Great question. A gap of that significance raises questions about what you did during those four years. It is better to include your short-term, part-time roles and focus on the transferability of those experiences, versus leaving 2020-2024 void of any content.
