Questions about resume gaps are expected. Here’s how job seekers can address them

NEW YORK, June 26, 2026 (AP) — When Monique Di Liberto began looking for a paying job after putting her career on pause to parent full-time, she felt paralyzed by self-doubt. “Who do you think you are trying this after 17 years?” Di Liberto recalled asking herself. “You have no business doing this.” The fear and uncertainty she felt is familiar to many people seeking work after an absence from the job market.

The development comes as Iran and the United States are increasingly debating the terms of the interim deal signed last week aimed at permanently ending the Iran war — from getting ships through the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf to the future of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
