How bad does an employment gap of ~3-4 months look to recruiters? I’m worried about the typical subconscious prejudging that occurs when there is any kind of employment gap. I am leaving my firm after not being able to find anything on the bench, and plan to do part time work tutoring in the evenings (and more) while I look for my next full time role. Just worried it will take a while to land a new full time role given current conditions…😞

In this market, I think it’s normal. Maybe say you were part of a RIF in your current firm to explain your gap.

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.
