Whether you're a mom returning to the workforce or bouncing back from pandemic-related unemployment, navigating your workforce re-entry can be intimidating, especially if you have a gap in your employment history.&nbsp;
A gap in employment can feel like a scarlet letter on your professional profile. Still, the reality is that most professionals take time away from work at one time or another during their careers.&nbsp;
When you're ready to return to work, you'll need to determine how and when to address your employment gap. You might also choose to pursue a new certification, revamp your resume, or sharpen <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/quizzes/interview-prep" rel="follow">your interview skills</a>&nbsp;as you prepare for the next step in your career journey.&nbsp;
This blog will explore several steps you can take to reignite your career after taking some time away from work.&nbsp;
<ol>
<li> Make a Realistic Game Plan.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
Before diving back into the job market headfirst, consider everything that's changed since you were last employed. Evaluate your career goals and how they might've changed since you last <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/five-ways-to-level-up-your-resume" rel="follow">updated your resume</a>&nbsp;or applied for open roles.&nbsp;
You should also use this opportunity to assess how well your professional and personal goals fit together. Perhaps you have less travel availability or need schedule flexibility to care for your children. Or maybe you're looking to move away from a high-demand position into something that offers more work-life harmony.&nbsp;
Use your revised <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/navigating-your-career-journey-5-ways-to-reach-your-career-development-goals" rel="follow">career development goals</a>&nbsp;and priorities to set realistic expectations for your job search. Create a definitive list of required skills, and don't go after high-ranking positions if you're moving into a new industry. Instead, look for entry-level positions that align with any new skills or certifications you've recently acquired. Use those as the first stepping stone into this new phase in your professional development.
The planning stage is also the ideal time to research job titles and positions in your desired field. If you aren't making a drastic <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/your-career-transition-how-to-conquer-change-with-confidence" rel="follow">career switch</a>, there's a high probability that certain things about your industry have changed, like the software proficiencies required for a role or how much experience is standard for a mid-level position.&nbsp;
Spend some time researching your industry and the leading organizations within it. Look up adjacent job titles and explore all the ways you can apply your skillsets to a new role, even if the role looks a bit different on paper than you expected. For example, you might find that your new Salesforce Administrator certificate would work well in a Business Analyst role, even if "Salesforce" doesn't appear in the job title.&nbsp;
Use all of your findings from above to create a high-level roadmap that includes:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">An overview of your primary career goals and milestones</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Must-haves and nice-to-haves for your next role&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Any certifications or courses you need to complete&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">A rough timeline that covers when you plan to start applying for new jobs&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Your roadmap might change as your career journey progresses, but the framework will help you keep a clear eye on your priorities and how you're tracking toward your long-term career goals, even if you take an unexpected path to reach them.
<ol start="2">
<li> Include the Gap on Your Resume.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
It can be tempting to leave your gap in employment off of your resume, especially since adding it there likely means you'll have to address it during an intro call or interview. However, omitting your gap in employment actually leaves recruiters to fill in the blanks themselves. And even if your work gap was for something above-board, that empty space can raise a red flag and leave employers wondering if you're hiding something about your employment history.&nbsp;
Rather than shying away from your employment gap, <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/resume-builder" rel="follow">address it head-on on your resume</a>. You can format your gap in employment as a line item to the effect of "Out of work due to...[insert explanation]." You don't have to give reviewers the nitty-gritty details, but it's a good idea to provide an overview of your gap, like:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Time off for maternity + parental leave</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Took a 12-month break from the workforce to pursue an Associate's Degree</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Took a sabbatical to focus on professional development</li>
</ul>
Use this section to highlight any <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/upskilling-yourself-for-tomorrows-economy" rel="follow">upskilling</a>&nbsp;you completed or adjacent skillsets you picked up outside the corporate world, like budgeting as the head of your household or project management for an event at your child's school. This will help proactively answer any questions the recruiter may have and give them more insight into your background. Plus, it shows them that you're being transparent and upfront on your application.&nbsp;
<ol start="3">
<li> Brush Up on Your Interview Skills.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
Your resume is the first place you'll need to tackle your gap in employment, but you should also prepare to <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/making-a-great-first-impression-five-tips-for-a-successful-interview" rel="follow">touch on it during job interviews</a>. It's helpful to practice how you'll approach the subject before you walk into your first interview to help calm your nerves and frame your time off in the best way possible.&nbsp;
Depending on your reason for temporarily leaving the workforce, you might even work your employment gap into your elevator pitch so you can get it out in the open as soon as possible and give interviewers a quick overview of your career journey so far.&nbsp;
Practice a concise and straightforward explanation, and highlight your productivity and development during your time away. Rather than simply stating, "I took a six-month gap in employment last year," say something like, "I took six months off last year to upskill in IT support," or "I took six months off last year to spend some quality time with family." From there, you can showcase any new skills or proficiencies you picked up while you were away from the workforce.&nbsp;
Remember, there's no reason to dwell on your gap once you've explained it at the start of your interview. Your gap in employment was likely much shorter than the amount of experience you have, so pivot the conversation back to what you bring to the table today and show interviewers the complete view of you rather than letting that period of time dictate the tone of your interview.&nbsp;

No matter how you approach your return to work, don't let your employment gap define the future of your career. The most important thing to do is demonstrate your intent to move forward&mdash;and <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/building-the-360deg-view-of-you-how-to-develop-a-job-skills-inventory" rel="follow">your holistic skillset</a>&mdash;to your potential employers and give yourself a bit of grace along the way.&nbsp;

Three Ways to Address a Gap in Employment

Whether you're a mom returning to the workforce or bouncing back from pandemic-related unemployment, navigating your workforce re-entry can be intimidating, especially if you have a gap in your employment history.

Your Return to Work: Three Ways to Address a Gap in Employment

Regardless of your professional past or future career goals, searching for a job is often equal parts rewarding and challenging. From unresponsive employers to pages-long applications, there are many elements of the job search that might leave you feeling discouraged, unmotivated, or simply worn out.
When your job search takes longer than planned, or your applications don't get noticed like you expected them to, it's easy to fall victim to job search fatigue. You might ask yourself questions like:
<blockquote>What's the best way to bounce back from a string of rejected job applications?</blockquote>
<blockquote>How can I make the job search process less overwhelming?</blockquote>
<blockquote>Why haven't I performed at my best during my most recent job interviews?</blockquote>
It can be hard to stay motivated during your job search, especially if you've had trouble finding relevant positions or haven't heard back from your top picks. However, there are several ways to fight back against job search fatigue and maintain your motivation until day one of your new career.
<h2>Eight Ways to Overcome Job Search Fatigue</h2>
<h3>1. Make a Game Plan</h3>
When you start your job search, you might want to dive headfirst into recommended jobs on LinkedIn or start scouring talent marketplaces for a list of current openings. Unfortunately, a fast and furious approach to job hunting doesn't set you up for success.
Rather than rushing into applications and interviews, plan out your job search and equip yourself with the tools and resources you need to succeed. Be sure to update your resume and online profiles ahead of time, and consider using career counseling or coaching services to prepare for the job market.
Tip: Use CareerCircle's free <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/resume-builder" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/resume-builder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Resume Builder</a> to create a professional, up-to-date resume in minutes, upload it to your candidate profile, and save a copy for future reference. 
<h3>2. Maintain a Positive Mindset</h3>
Perhaps the toughest part of job hunting is that your destiny isn't 100% in your control. Even with a standout resume, application, and cover letter, your fate still rests in the hands of each potential employer. The only thing you can control 100% is your attitude. Be kind to yourself and patient as you navigate your career journey.
Don't tie your worth or performance to whether or not you land an interview. It's easy to fall into a rut after a string of rejections or lack of outreach from recruiters. Eventually, something will land in your favor. If you're having a run of bad luck, take a step back to make sure you're applying to relevant jobs, or try tweaking your search filters.
Tip: Don't let delays discourage you! Some organizations start recruiting for jobs months in advance. Delays are more likely a reflection of their timeline rather than a reflection of you. 
<h3>3. Don't Undersell Yourself</h3>
Is self-doubt delaying your job search? Imposter syndrome is likely to blame. Many candidates don't apply to the jobs they want because they don't feel qualified or because their resumes don't mirror the qualifications listed on the online posting. It's intimidating to apply for a brand new job, especially if your resume isn't chock full of relevant experience. However, you shouldn't take yourself out of the running prematurely.
If you let imposter syndrome creep in, you'll likely end up stuck in job-search limbo, where you browse for open positions but never hit "send" on any of your applications. You won't find the right opportunity unless you apply for it. What's more, today's employers are much more receptive to <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/off-to-a-skilled-start-5-important-skills-youll-need-in-2021" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/off-to-a-skilled-start-5-important-skills-youll-need-in-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">adjacent skills</a> and on-the-job training than they used to be and less concerned with hard skills and years of experience.
Tip: Apply for any position that's relevant to your skill sets and passions. The best way to overcome self-doubt is to apply anyway and wait to see how each opportunity plays out. 
<h3>4. Find Ways to Stay Motivated</h3>
It's easy to take rejection personally, especially when you've put so much time and effort into <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/five-ways-to-level-up-your-resume" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/five-ways-to-level-up-your-resume" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">building your resume</a> and applying to jobs. However, it's important to remember that each application puts you a step closer to your dream job. Staying positive in the face of adversity is the best way to find the right opportunity for you.
When you feel discouraged or burnt out, take a few days off from your job search tasks. Resist the temptation to rewrite your resume line-by-line or over-analyze recent interactions with recruiters. Instead, step away from the computer for a bit and plan a fun or relaxing activity to get your mind off of job hunting.
Tip: Pursue a hobby or participate in volunteer work to give yourself a break from the job hunt and add transferable skills to your resume. 
<h3>5. Upskill in the Interim</h3>
If you notice an employer requires proficiency in a specific tool or skill set, <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/youve-got-skills-the-importance-of-upskilling-in-todays-job-market" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/youve-got-skills-the-importance-of-upskilling-in-todays-job-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">use upskilling resources</a> to learn the appropriate skills while applying or waiting to hear back from a recruiter.
This shows employers that you're actively pursuing the opportunity, not casually applying to random jobs. As the application process and your upskilling courses progress, you'll have brand new skills to showcase during interviews with hiring managers.
Tip: Check out the "preferred qualifications" section of each job posting to identify which certifications or skill sets will help you stand out from other applicants.
<h3>6. Set Up Job Alerts</h3>
Juggling applications, interviews, and new job postings can make for a time-consuming job search. The good news is, several talent marketplaces, including <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/candidates" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the CareerCircle platform</a>, allow you to set up automatic job alerts.
Job alerts are a quick, easy way to create a passive inflow of open job postings and stay up-to-date on the latest opportunities. Simply set up alerts by title, and you'll receive a daily or weekly digest of open opportunities right in your email inbox.
Tip: Search for adjacent job titles by Googling "[desired title] adjacent job titles" to expand your options and set alerts for common variations of the job title you want. 
<h3>7. Be Open to Feedback</h3>
Everyone gets pre-interview jitters. Whether it's your first interview or your tenth, you might feel self-conscious and worry about how interviewers will perceive you. <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/making-a-great-first-impression-five-tips-for-a-successful-interview" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/making-a-great-first-impression-five-tips-for-a-successful-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Job interviews</a> are designed to help employers get to know you and assess your skills more in-depth than they can on your resume. However, these events also leave many candidates feeling vulnerable or self-conscious about how they present themselves to future employers.
Remember that every interaction you have with recruiters or hiring managers is a learning opportunity. Rather than seeing rocky interviews as a loss, you can use the interviewer's feedback to reshape your job search, <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/quizzes/interview-prep" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/quizzes/interview-prep" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">brush up on your interview prep</a>, or reframe the way you talk about yourself in the future.
Tip: If an employer rejects your application post-interview, reach out over email and ask if they can share additional feedback. Anything you learn from them will help you refine your approach moving forward. 
<h3>8. Create a Realistic Routine</h3>
Motivation and work ethic can carry you a long way. However, the most successful job search strategies strike the right balance between proactive and aggressive. You shouldn't be afraid to commit time to your job hunt, but you should give yourself realistic limitations on how much time you spend searching and applying each day.
Filling out applications all day can leave even the most motivated job seeker feeling burnt out. Break your job search tasks up into time blocks and schedule them out to align with the rest of your daily activities. Be sure to give yourself breaks between tasks to help prevent burnout and without derailing your routine.
Tip: Give yourself a screen-free break from job hunting every couple of hours. Try getting outside, grabbing a bite to eat, or spending some time with a friend to distract your mind and give your eyes a rest.

Combat Job Search Fatigue with These 8 Tips

Regardless of your professional past or future career goals, searching for a job is often equal parts rewarding and challenging. From unresponsive employers to pages-long applications, there are many elements of the job search that might leave you feeling discouraged, unmotivated, or simply worn out.

Your Career Journey: Learn How to Combat Job Search Fatigue with These Tips

It can be tough to navigate your job search alone. From the laundry list of to-dos&mdash;like resume changes, applications, and interview scheduling&mdash;to long wait times between each step in the hiring process, you likely have a lot on your plate.
Even so, it can be intimidating to ask for help from a staffing or employment agency and even tougher to find an agency that will help you chart a course from hopeful to hired and offer much-needed guidance and support along the way.
Online employment agencies are some of the best free resources in the job market. The right one will help you tackle your job search with confidence.
So what sets top-tier online employment agencies apart from traditional staffing partners? And how do these organizations go beyond employer demands to support job seekers in their network? 
<h2>Employment Agencies Versus Staffing Agencies</h2>
While employment agencies and staffing agencies provide similar services, several key differences set them apart and dictate how candidates should leverage them when searching for jobs.
Staffing agencies typically focus on placing applicants in positions as quickly as possible. These organizations are designed to fill temporary roles, which means staffing agencies aren't ideal for candidates who want a long-term career in a particular industry or employers that want to <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/hiring-vs-workforce-development-stop-patching-holes-start-preparing-for-tomorrow" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/hiring-vs-workforce-development-stop-patching-holes-start-preparing-for-tomorrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">add lasting value to their workforce</a>. They technically staff the employees they place in open roles, which means a job seeker may land a position without interviewing directly with their new employers.
You might choose to work with a staffing agency if you want to dip your toes into a new industry or spend several months getting hands-on experience in a relevant field before moving on to something more permanent.
On the other hand, online employment agencies seek to place candidates in long-term positions and offer ongoing support for their employer partners. They traditionally provide more services than a staffing agency. They might even work with employers to backfill specific roles, expand talent pools, and create proactive hiring strategies that add value to their workforce over time. 
<h2>Four Ways Online Employment Agencies Support Job Seekers</h2>
The right employment partner can be your greatest asset in the job market. Below are several ways online employment agencies support candidates at every step of their career journeys.
<h3>1. Access to Current Opportunities</h3>
There's nothing more frustrating than reading the details of an open role, only to click "apply" and find out the posting is no longer active. Unlike job boards where anyone can post at any time, online employment agencies manage open roles on their sites to ensure they only present relevant, available opportunities to job seekers.
When you work with an employment agency, you'll gain access to jobs from employers in their dedicated network, with the confidence that postings are accurate, active, and come from reputable sources.
Your agency partner should also have <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/3-benefits-of-working-with-a-recruiter" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/3-benefits-of-working-with-a-recruiter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">professional connections in your target industry or field</a>, which means they could access certain opportunities you can't find on Google or a public talent marketplace. They also serve as a trustworthy partner to each employer they work with, which puts you in a positive light even before your first call or interview.
<h3>2. Holistic Career Counseling</h3>
In an ideal world, we'd all have a perfectly composed career plan and accompanying checklist for what we want out of a job. In reality, it can be challenging to create an attainable career roadmap or even decide what positions you want to pursue. Not every career path or career development plan is linear, and it can feel overwhelming to tackle everything on your own.
Candidate-focused online employment agencies go beyond standard career matching to offer career counseling and advocacy services as well. Whether you're knee-deep in job applications or just starting to think about your next career move, your partner should support you with:
<ul>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">Career pathing and goal setting</li>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">Resume updates and improvements</li>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">Ongoing career mentoring</li>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">Upskilling recommendations</li>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">Apprenticeships and internships</li>
</ul>
You may even turn to an employment agency before your job search officially begins to <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/navigating-your-career-journey-5-ways-to-reach-your-career-development-goals" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/navigating-your-career-journey-5-ways-to-reach-your-career-development-goals " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">set career development goals</a>, explore potential career paths, or determine which upskilling courses you need to land your ideal role. 
<h3>3. Upskilling Courses and Resources</h3>
Upskilling is one of the best ways to advance your career and add tangible skills to your resume. As the name suggests, upskilling helps you learn a new technical skill or expand your proficiency in a specific field. Upskilling courses are typically online, and students earn an award or professional certificate upon course completion.
While staffing agencies are focused on finding you a job you already qualify for, the right employment partner can help you connect the dots between your existing skills and your future career goals. They'll offer access to upskilling courses, discounted resources, and unique apprenticeship opportunities to help you <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/building-the-360deg-view-of-you-how-to-develop-a-job-skills-inventory" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/building-the-360deg-view-of-you-how-to-develop-a-job-skills-inventory" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">grow your skillset</a> and prepare for the role you want.
After you complete each course, you'll be able to expand your professional network by connecting with your fellow graduates and instructors. These connections can help you identify job seekers with similar interests and employers looking for applicants with your skills and qualifications.
Upskilling gives you a tangible way to <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/five-ways-to-level-up-your-resume" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/five-ways-to-level-up-your-resume" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">present your skills on a resume</a> or job application. And while resumes aren't everything in the job market, they're often the first thing a recruiter sees when searching for new talent.
<h3>4. Self-Service Tools</h3>
You'll need to complete several tasks before and during your job search to make it a success. Along with applying to jobs, brushing up on your tech skills, and getting in touch with potential employers, you want to be sure your resume is in tip-top shape and you're <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/making-a-great-first-impression-five-tips-for-a-successful-interview" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/blog/post/making-a-great-first-impression-five-tips-for-a-successful-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ready for that upcoming job interview</a>.
While you'll likely work on certain job search milestones with your mentor or a recruiter, it's also nice to have some flexible, autonomous tasks you can complete on your own. Online employment agencies that focus on holistic career support provide self-service tools for candidates in their talent network.
Look for an employment partner that provides helpful resources and powerful tools to fuel your job search. For example, CareerCircle's website offers a range of self-service career tools, including:
<ul>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">A free <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/resume-builder" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/resume-builder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Resume Builder</a> that helps candidates create or update their resumes online in minutes.</li>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">An <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/quizzes/interview-prep" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/quizzes/interview-prep" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Interview Prep Quiz</a> that walks candidates through each phase of the interview process and tests their interview readiness.</li>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet"><a href="https://www.careercircle.com/traitify" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/traitify" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Traitify Assessments</a> that evaluate candidates' personalities and align them with potential career paths.</li>
<li data-gc-list-depth="1" data-gc-list-style="bullet">Interactive Intro Videos that candidates can display on their <a href="https://www.careercircle.com/candidates/signup" data-gc-link="https://www.careercircle.com/candidates/signup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Candidate 360&deg; profiles</a> to make great first impressions with employers.</li>
</ul>
In general, look for an employment partner focused on supporting its candidates rather than making them jump through hoops to apply for jobs or identify the next best steps in their career journeys. You may find this support in the form of career mentoring, insightful webinars and blog posts, or one-on-one coaching services with recruiters.
