Everyone makes a big fuss about having a gap on your resume, and most folks are fearful of getting fired because of this very reason. But what if your current state of underemployment is your own doing?
每一个人都对你简历上的空白时间大惊小怪。正是出于同一理由很多人担忧被解雇。但假如你现在的待业是自己一手导致的该如何解决呢？
A bad boss, crummy coworkers, or poor working conditions may have led you to walk away -- but you don't want to reveal that in an interview. However valid1 your reasons may have been, such factors can be turned back on you, causing you to be perceived as someone who couldn't handle directions, work well with others, or wasn't willing to do whatever it took to get the job done.
或许是老板不好、同事糟糕、工作条件差致使你离职但你可不想在面试中提及这类。不论你的原因多么正当，如此是什么原因都会起反用途，让其他人感觉你是一个把握不了方向、没办法和其他人共事、或不愿为完成工作做出牺牲的人。
So, how should you discuss the fact that you quit your last job without scaring off recruiters? Read on for four tips.
那样怎么样谈论离职的事情，又不会吓跑招聘者呢？下面为你提供四条建议：
1. Blame It on Burnout 归咎精力疲乏
The best tactic2 for talking about why you quit -- for any reason -- is to accentuate3 the positive and minimize the negative. Most folks understand that people are susceptible4 to burnout in today's world. Explain to your interviewer that while you enjoyed your job, you wanted to take time to recharge your batteries, physically5 and mentally.
谈论离职缘由的最好方案是去强调积极原因、缩小消极原因。目前的工作容易耗尽人的精力，这是很多人都能理解的。对面试官讲解，你虽然喜欢上一份工作但需要时间给自己在体力和精神上充电。
If you have no other gaps on your resume and have been working continually for a lengthy6 period of time, this is quite plausible7.
假如你的求职简历上只有一段时间空白，除此之外都是长期的工作时期，那样这尤为奏效。
2. This Time It's Personal 这一次是私人缘由
If you quit a job to spend quality time with a child or a sick family member, by all means say that. The Family and Medical Leave Act doesn't necessarily provide workers with all the protection or time they need to be present for family members if childcare or eldercare becomes necessary. only companies of a certain size are beholden to the FMLA, which offers up to 12 weeks of unpaid8 leave during a 12-month period.
假如你离职是为了孩子或照顾生病的家人，无论怎么样都要讲出。家庭和医疗请假法案（FMLA)在必需照顾儿童或老人时，未必给职员提供所需的全部保护和时间。只有拥有肯定规模的企业才实行这一法案。根据FMLA的规定，这类企业提供在一年内12周无薪休假。
