May Career Coach Insights: Navigating Career Gaps and Mastering the Hiring Process
Manage episode 418712831 series 3543649
Our monthly career coach column on BioSpace just dropped! This month we offer deeper insights into navigating the job market and the hiring process. There's a lot of stigma and confusion surrounding career gaps, but recruiters are more interested in how candidates have used their time to maintain or enhance their skills. This episode provides practical advice on how candidates can positively frame their career breaks during interviews, using tutoring as an example of a valuable experience. We also advise junior hiring managers on running an efficient and compliant hiring process within resource-limited environments, such as startups. We also touch upon the legal considerations in interviews, stressing the importance of only asking job-related questions to avoid discrimination.
