Hi, Can anyone suggest how difficult it will be to land a job post a career gap of few(2-3) months? I am planning to take a break.

I had taken a break my current employer understood.

Its a bit difficult to get through interviews explaining the break taken, but its not impossible. Most followed route is citing reasons such as professional/technical courses, or personal emergencies.

How about Sabbatical. Is that not a option possible in your case?

Agreed with Fractal 1, hang on till March - April if you can. Have spoken to various senior executives, C-suite level individuals in my network / family friends circle and they've suggested the same - many said they will resume hiring around that time.

Why is it that when ever I look at “entry level” jobs in IT they always want 2-4 years of experience. It’s entry level that means maybe some certifications if they didn’t major in the field or a degree in the field. Not 2-4 years already working in the field. Can someone please explain this to me?

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.
