If you’ve ever stared at your resume thinking, “Will they judge me for this?” Then this episode is for you!

We address the truth about career gaps, job hopping, and how to confidently talk about them in your resume, LinkedIn, and interviews. Whether you’ve been laid off, took time off for family, or are pivoting careers, you’ll learn how to explain your story with honesty, professionalism, and faith, and still get hired.

We discuss:

  • How to address gaps in your resume and LinkedIn without oversharing

  • What to say in interviews if you’ve switched jobs frequently

  • When (and when not) to explain your gap

  • How to own your story and show growth

  • The mindset shift you need to stop letting your resume define your worth

Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
