Need Advice After Longish Gap
Hello all,
So I need a little advice. I graduated from a top target with a degree in finance around 3 years ago with a 3.8 GPA. I had some ok internships, but nothing spectacular. I wasn't successful in getting a full time job upon graduating, and went off travelling and volunteering for the last 3 years. Now, I don't want to travel anymore and want to work in finance in some capacity. However, I have had about 10 interviews with smaller places and no job offers or even second round interviews. What would you guys recommend I do? I am probably not the best interviewee but have been working on it. I suspect that the gap does not look good. Thanks.
If you're getting interviews, it has nothing to do with the gap. They wouldnt even invite you to interview if they didnt like the gap on your resume.
While the resume gap isn't an impediment to obtaining interviews, it's likely hurting your chances when being evaluated side-by-side with candidates that are fresh out of college.
Finance jobs are hyper-competitive and candidates with non-traditional backgrounds will always need to be exceptional during interviews in order to compensate for the risk-taking.
