how to explain a resume gap
I left my job of ~5 years in April 2024 because I needed to take a breather and re-evaluate what i wanted out of my career. I took many months off and started looking back at jobs maybe March of 2025 and have yet to lock one down. it's mostly because the types of roles I look for just aren't open (I work in climate, so it's clearly rough out there). how am i supposed to explain to an interviewer why I haven't worked in 2 years? I don't want to come across negative or complainy. ty!
