I quit my job 6 months ago due to a health crisis. I am a single mother, age 43. I have one son and a daughter. My ex-husband is currently helping me manage the school fee and house expenses. I have applied to several jobs but only few interviews were scheduled. I have 17 years of experience but I am struggling to land an interview call. Do you think my career break could be the reason? Please help.

Ans: You have 17 years of experience, resilience, and the ability to navigate challenges. A six-month break doesn’t define your career, but how you present it might. What’s standing out in your applications - the gap or your expertise? How are you framing this phase in interviews? Are you engaging with your network or relying solely on job boards?
Sometimes, the opportunity isn’t missing - it’s in how we position ourselves for it. What’s one shift you can make today to change the response you’re getting?

Wishing you success,

Hello Sir, after finishing my graduation, I have been on a career break due to personal reasons. Now I planning to apply for jobs, but am worried that this career break would affect my job prospects! And, how should I respond when the interviewers ask me about this gap period?

Ans: Please emphasize on any learning you gained during that period. If possible state the reason... family or health requirements and state clearly that you are ready now.

Career

I am an IT Engineer, 39 years old and have 2 little kids. Suddenly I got laid off by my company. I gave interviews in many companies,since couple of months but getting rejected every time even when I am giving all the answers to them. This is leading me to depression. What to do please help.

Ans: I’m really sorry that you’re feeling this way, but I’m unable to provide the help that you need. It’s really important to talk things over with someone who can, though, such as a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life.
