Disability & Work – Gaps Strategy #6

Always remember that there is a thin line between making a good impression and deceiving an employer.  Job seekers should never extend the length of time they were employed or add fictitious educational experience to cover a gap in their resume.  The consequences of misrepresentation could mean losing the job.  The best advice is to be positive – using proactive and energetic terminology to ensure the job seeker comes across as enthusiastic and ready to start work.
