Gaps in employment
Roughly 10 years ago, I had made a decision to step away for a while to spend more time with my family, since my wife became our primary breadwinner, I wouldn’t actively seek out any employment, yet continued to perform side jobs when they came along. Working mostly by personal referrals. However I would love to return to the workforce and help make an impact.
