Hi,
Yes, it definitely depends on various situations. A gap in a CV leaves a very bad impression on any employer, but we are all human beings, and sometimes incidents or accidents happen that make it difficult to continue a job. The impact of the gap depends on the situations and conditions.
When explaining the reason for the gap to the interviewer, be honest. If the gap was due to family issues or health problems, try to keep proper records if possible. Employers appreciate honesty, so tell them the truth.
In addition to explaining the gap, work on sharpening your personality, skills, and updating your knowledge in your field. Answer their questions confidently, and if you are not aware of an answer, politely apologize. Show your enthusiasm, confidence, and passion for work. These qualities will help fill any gaps in your resume.
Best wishes

Employment Gaps - or short stints in many - are a problem many candidates face. While the reasons could be genuine, not presenting them properly can significantly reduce your chances of even getting the interview call!
