[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP does bring up a valid point though. What do you say when asked about the gap? I'm the PP that asked a candidate once about her gap and she gave me the "didn't want to split my focus" answer. Not a good answer on many levels. I would have simply preferred something like "I decided to take a break from my career when we had young children, but during that break I did X, Y, and Z, or I went back to school, or....anything but what she said.
