How to Address Gaps Honestly
It is always better to briefly address gaps than to hide them. Here are honest ways to explain common situations:
Gap due to displacement: "2022โ2023: Displaced due to conflict in Ukraine. During this period I completed online courses in [subject] and maintained skills through [activity]."
Qualification not yet recognised: "Currently completing the qualification recognition process with [relevant body]. My [degree] from [university] is fully equivalent to [local qualification]."
No local references: "References available from previous employer in [country]. International references can be provided on request."
