      TCS, Infosys, Cognizant and few more companies are not considering more than 2 years career gap even non-technical job is not considering. This is true because happened with my friends.

    If a person was a govt job aspirant and he was unable to get that particular job.
    Now he wants to pursue the career he wanted which is second best of his interests.
    He has shut the preparation for the govt. job.
    This reason is told to the interviewer for the gap year.
    What kind of image does the interviewer perceives?
    How can he justify it to the interviewer?
    Can anyone tell me?

      Dear Shan, try to talk to your employer and see if they can give you that break of 3 months without any pay and then you can resume back; employees with some personal emergencies do take such short breaks.
      If they are not allowing, its ok, you can still leave the company, but make sure that you are confident enough of getting the job afterwards.

    How much employment gap between jobs is considered serious. Does it start with 6 months?? I have 2yrs of experience. I am preparing for interviews which has taken me around 3 months. What happens if I can't get a job within next 3 months??
