Blips are unavoidable especially were redundancy is concerned and I feel very strongly about this.

So, is it right for a potential employer to have concerns about the blips on my CV or should they look at my CV positively and think, well this person certainly didn't waste any time in finding work when she lost a job or when faced with redundancy?

Sometimes I think employers would prefer our CV's to be blank rather than see we accepted short-term work to keep our skills up to take, help us refrain from being idle and avoid having to accept benefits while we are unemployed.

If potential employers are too narrow-minded to see beyond that and cannot view our skills and career history to date as something positive, then we have very little to strive for.
