HRIntermediate#background

Why is there a gap in your education or career?

Answer

State the reason briefly and without apology, then show what you did during the period and that the situation is resolved.

Example

"I lost a semester to a health issue in 2024. During recovery I finished two online certifications in DBMS and Java, and I've had no academic backlog since returning."
