Returning to work
A gap in your CV doesn't disqualify you. Feeling awkward about it does.
Four weeks to clarify what you want now, refresh your materials, and give the gap an explanation that holds up in an interview.
No sales call. You'll get a written review within 48 hours.
Where you are right now.
- 01
You've been out of the market for one, three or ten years, for kids, health, caring for parents or a move.
- 02
You're sending applications and getting no answers, without knowing if it's the gap or the CV.
- 03
You don't know if you want to return to the same job or something different.
- 04
You're dreading the question about what you did all this time and haven't decided how to answer it.
- 05
The way hiring works, and the tools your industry uses, have changed.
What you walk away with.
01
Psychometric profile
RIASEC and OCEAN with a written interpretation, so the return is based on what fits you today, not what you did before the break.
02
Skills mapping
What still holds value from your past experience, what needs refreshing, and what you picked up during this time without considering it a skill.
03
The story of the gap
Two or three sentences about the break, written together, without apologies and without exaggeration, for your CV, LinkedIn and interviews.
04
CV and LinkedIn
Rewritten with today's structure and terminology, with the gap placed correctly instead of hidden.
05
Three sessions
One every week, with concrete work between meetings.
06
Interview preparation
One session dedicated to the tough questions, salary negotiation and the conversation about hours and flexibility.
How it works.
- 1
Free CV review, in writing, within 48 hours.

Psychometric profile and a short 15-minute call to set a goal.

First session: we decide on a target role and the story of the gap.

Manousos Vasilakis
I work with people returning to the market after a break, and they usually have two questions: whether they've fallen behind, and what they'll say about the time they were away.
The work is practical: psychometric tools to set a goal based on data, materials that hold up in today's market, and preparation for the questions that worry you the most.
