Gap between jobs?

[iCandy]

I was doing PT degree whilst holding FT job. In last semester, i quit to focus on studies + take a break. Now exams are over and I'm waiting for convocation. Will future employers question why there's a gap between jobs? I mean, after exams i still not looking for a job. Real reason being i want to take a nice long break before working for the rest of my life

Hello. You can explain to the employer you were doing your PT studies and exams, then took a break to understand the world and yourself.

Those employers who are understanding of millenials will not mind, but the traditional companies with very strict bosses may not be too happy about you taking a break. So know the company you are applying to.

I have a friend who has backpacked to Latin America and Asia after taking breaks in his job.

Thanks for your replies. Didn't cross my mind that those who mind are more traditional. That's a relief
