gap in time 2 Years, 3 Months ago Karma: 0  
this looks like a great place to post a resume question. If there is a significant gap in time between jobs due to school and travel should that be explained in the resume or just fudge the dates of employment at the most recent jobs? We're talking about 15 months of time between jobs.

I would list the jobs in chronological order and state that you were traveling. That looks better than just leaving a gap, or fudging the dates which can be verified.

Good luck.

Explain in the cover letter the reason for the gap in time. Turn it into something positive, like i was learning about new cultures, or volunteering, or paying off debt.
