Title: I&#x27;ve been off work for a year, and been doing minor projects&#x2F;freelancing for some small companies as I backpack and travel around Asia.<p>Recently, I&#x27;ve been trying to find remote gigs&#x2F;office jobs, and I&#x27;ve gotten feedback that my resume gap is troublesome.<p>I pass tech interviews, and I&#x27;ve gotten an offer or two that I declined due to not meeting salary&#x2F;lifestyle requirements (but now looking back maybe I should&#x27;ve taken them.)<p>Should I just add a few projects I did on my resume? They&#x27;re really minor and involve basic Windows sysadmin stuff that can be done in a week or two.<p>Or, alternatively, how do I re-word it so it doesn&#x27;t seem like I&#x27;m desperate? I&#x27;ve had recruiters from the typical bucketshops of Apex, Cybercoders and misc say &quot;you&#x27;re a good candidate but that gap is troublesome&quot; in not so nice words.
