I am having 2 years of career gap from graduation, And I applied for so many companies and yet I didn't receive any response. What should I do right now? I am losing hope.
It's normal to feel discouraged, but there are a few focused steps you can take to improve your chances:
-
Rework your resume to clearly explain the 2-year gap. Keep it honest—mention if you were upskilling, dealing with personal issues, or preparing for exams.
-
Start building a strong LinkedIn presence. Share projects, write short posts on what you're learning, and connect with professionals in your field.
-
Enroll in a short-term certification or internship, even if unpaid, to show active engagement and learning.
-
Apply strategically. Don’t mass apply. Customize your resume and cover letter for each role.
Reach out directly to recruiters or employees on LinkedIn. Ask politely for any openings or referrals.
Focus on small and mid-size companies and startups—they often value skills over gaps.
Practice mock interviews and improve communication. Career gap candidates are often judged more during interviews, so preparation is key.
