Sometimes a person may have a short-term career break. There are many possible reasons for such a break, for example, health problems, getting additional education, maternity leave, moving to a different town or country, taking time off for one’s personal needs, etc.
One shouldn’t be overstressed about having been temporary unemployed. There is always some kind of job available for those willing to get it. An important thing is that one should be able to give a valid explanation of a career gap at the job interview.
