After working for one year in a nursing care home then take 3-6 months off (just to live life for yourself) and try in another care home. Does it affect your resume or in any other way?

Taking a break from work for 3-6 months after working for one year in a nursing care home is not uncommon and should not have a significant impact on your resume. However, it is important to be honest about the gap in your employment history and explain what you were doing during that time. You can put a positive spin on the gap by highlighting any personal or professional growth you experienced during your time off. According to ¹, honesty is the best policy when it comes to addressing gaps in your resume. You can briefly and directly address the gap in one or two sentences and state what you were doing during that time. I hope this helps!

Besides some low level jealousy? Nope! In a bigger city, all but a few staff rotate between the existing nursing homes, they change jobs for various reasons, pay, schedule, following supervisor or friends, and most of the facilities are used to that. As long as you pass a background check and know your job, they'll give you a try. But if you ever take a break and hope to return to the same facility, it's best to give some notice before you leave
