Gaps in the employment history Hello there, I hope you all are well and just to say thank you for your help with this entries. Now I have a question that I am seeing in employment application forms. Please if you have any advise about my answer besides the grammar corrections, it would be appreciated. Here it goes: Please explain any gaps in your employment history: Maximum length: 4000 The gaps in my employment history can be explained into two periods. The first period started in 2009. During this period, I was partly inactive due to the reduction of working hours in my work place that affected all the staff. As a result of these changes, I had spent more time in studies which taught me the basis of the office environment and help with my career prospects. Then, the second period started in January 2015, when my baby born. Since there, I spent time with the baby education for almost two years. Along the first year, I have participated with children centres activities which enrich my sense of community and known of the organisations in my area.
