Good morning!
In my opinion, employment gap is also good as it is usually the time when an individual actually thinks about their career path more often than not and in some cases it could be due to health reasons including welcoming new members into the family.
Please note, like advised above it is:
1. Always good to give the true reason for a gap
2. Calculate your actual work experience as per time engaged and not number of years since first employment taken.
3. Try and apply for jobs only where you feel you will be best utilized for your skill sets and not for your desperateness.
4. Even if there comes a time when you have no choice but to take up a job, please note there is dignity of labour in all jobs so please take an assignment where you think you can deliver and still keep looking for your most wanted job.
5. In my experience, most new parents both women and men have a challenge to adjust to lifestyle changes due to kids, hence being able to commit yourself realistically to jobs you can deliver than trying to get back to the game as before is a more sensible approach.
6. You should also look for jobs in companies that now are looking for women who have taken a brief hiatus from their career and see if you find your wanted job. Check this link for example...
