Reason Category
What Select the primary reason for your gap. Pick the one that best matches your situation.
Why The reason determines the tone and structure of your framing. Caregiving gaps and voluntary leaves are explained differently than terminations or health-related gaps.
How to use Choose the category that most accurately describes your situation. If more than one applies, pick the primary one.
3
What Kept You Current
What Select everything that applies to what you did during the gap to stay connected to your field. Check all that apply.
Why This is your contextualization sentence. The more you did, the stronger your close. Even one item here gives you something concrete to include in your framing.
How to use Check every box that honestly applies. If nothing applies, leave all unchecked and the script will be built accordingly.
4
When the Gap Ended
What Select when this gap ended relative to today.
Why A gap that ended two years ago requires a different close than a gap that ended last month. Recency affects how much the interviewer will probe.
How to use Select the option that most accurately describes your situation. If you are currently in the gap, select the first option.
5
Role Type
What Select the healthcare field you are returning to or entering.
Why Specific fields have specific concerns. A coding role cares whether your certification is current. A clinical role cares about licensure and hours. The script adjusts the contextualization accordingly.
How to use Pick the role type you are applying for, not the one you held before the gap.
