[quote=Anonymous]Tricky. He should apply widely to roles for which he is qualified, but have some compelling explanation for the employment gap. That period of time will need to be accounted for on his resume, and in any cover communication which accompanies it. The best chances of success may be through personal connections and referrals, so take advantage of those as much as possible; with someone paving the way, the employment gap may not cause an immediate rejection. Additionally, it may be helpful, and may be necessary, to be able to claim (and actually have) familiarity and competence with current software tools used in the kinds of roles being applied for. A lack of recent experience might otherwise be assumed to be disqualifying if such skills are likely needed for the roles. [/quote]
