2 years ago, right at the end of my mat leave, my husband was laid off and we decided to transition to a single income household. Since then, he’s been an amazing stay at home dad. But since he’s been looking for a job, the past 6 months, unfortunately the gap in his resume appears to be really hurting his odds to get back into the workforce.

He’s been an account manager at Uber, Wayfair, and Facebook. If anyone has any leads or advice, would love help. Financially feeling the pressure here 😩

Bit of a cheeky thing to do, but I know people who've covered up gaps by saying they were freelancing. Most genuinely did do some freelance work, but were just a bit creative with the lengths of time involved.

Is there a just a gap or does his resume say what he was doing? It may be a place to say something like “freelancing” or “caregiver.”

I would be spooked by an unexplained gap but not by a caregiver role.

That’s helpful, thank you
