I had a call today from an agent today, can't remember the agencies name, he said he wanted to put me forward for a position which he thought I was a perfect match for but "was concerned about the 3 months gap in my cv" since my last role.
Tried to explain to him that I am a contractor and not a permie so should expect some gaps in my cv, especially since I have taken some time off.
He seemed to ignore the fact that through 2005 to 2012 I have not had any breaks between roles, each role with numerous renewals longest being 3.5 yrs to the shortest being 18 months.
But no he kept going on about how he was "concerned about this gap"
I wonder if other agents who see gaps in a CV are a put off, this is new to me I have never heard of a contractor not being put forward because of gaps in their CV
