Khoảng trống trong CV xin việc và cách xử lý để bạn vượt qua phỏng vấn

đừng trình bày "employment history" theo mốc thời gian,

mà trình bày theo số năm kinh nghiệm tại mỗi công việc, nhé... ;)

Dear Dan,

I have been a stay-at-home mom for the past two years. Now that schools have reopened, I would like to go back to work again. How do I best address this employment gap on my resume?
—Heather

Whether consciously (có ý thức, có chủ ý) or not, prospective (tương lai, về sau, sắp tới) employers often look negatively (tiêu cực) on applicants (người xin việc) with gaps in their employment histories. Scientists in the UK set out to explore whether changes to resume layout could reduce this bias. They sent out resumes and cover letters responding to more than 9,000 real job vacancies, both high- and low-skilled. The cover letters were all the same, but the resumes varied slightly. Some showed an unexplained 2.5-year gap since the last job. Others explained that the 2.5-year gap was for child-care purposes. A third set simply adopted a less traditional layout, replacing the dates of employment with the number of years of experience.

There was no difference in the number of call-backs for resumes that explained the gap versus those that did not. However, removing dates and presenting previous employment in terms of years of experience increased call-backs by 15%. Formatting your resume in a way that highlights your years of experience seems to be the way to go.
