In order to show yourself in a positive light, select a difficult work situation which was not caused by you and which can be quickly explained in a few sentences. #BridgeGapNg

Be enthusiastic; describe your job as interesting and diverse but do not overdo it - after all, you are looking to leave. #BridgeGapNg
