Navigating HR Job Search Challenges: Addressing Employment Gap in Interview Prep - CiteHR

Hello all, my name is Sara Fatima. I completed my Master's in Business Administration in Human Resources in 2012 and have been searching for a suitable job in the respected field since then, but I haven't been able to find one. I have an interview on Saturday with a reputed company. Could anyone please suggest how I can provide a satisfactory answer to justify my gap? I really don't want to miss this opportunity as this is my dream organization in my favorite field.

Thank you.

My suggestion is to be honest with interviewers. We do not have plenty of jobs in HR in India, particularly for freshers—this is a reality. You have shown the perseverance to continue searching in order to find a suitable opportunity; this could be considered positive.
