Greetings!
I just joined FGB and I’m searching for a new opportunity after a six month gap in employment (I chose to end a position). During this gap, I’ve been “working” part time via UberEats & Doordash while searching for work. Should I list food delivery on my resume even though it’s completely unrelated to my previous career experience? Thanks kindly!

Welcome, Melissa!
I just joined FGB too!
For your UberEats and Doordash jobs, could you put something like: "Career Break (month/year to month/year) - Developed (or polished or?) customer service skills while delivering excellent service in part-time positions and then another bulleted line above that with "Explored new career opportunities/options in _________ " or something like that? Just ideas. I have 2 career breaks similar to that on my resume.
Good Luck!

Hi Melissa! We are so happy to have you at Fairygodboss. I would recommend not putting anything on your resume that you don't believe adds benefit to what you're trying to look for career-wise.

Thank you! I’ll leave that off. My concern is that employers may overlook me because of the six month gap. I have been addressing this in cover letters, but still no responses to applications.
