Gaps on CV

[ToothbrushMan]

How do you explain these at interview?

Do you think there is any stigma when employers see you are out of work or have work gaps on the CV?

for me it was only a short term job that ended after 6 months covering for maternity and more recently redundancy.........no choice in either situation.

the gap after the temp job was down to just not finding any work. that was about 1 year 4 months.
