How do employers view candidates who take a gap year?
As long as your gap year has a purpose, many employers view your time off favorably. For one, you’ve probably matured and gained more real-world experience as a candidate in your gap year and can better articulate your reasons for applying to a particular position. In addition, it can give you time to build transferable skills, as well as help you demonstrate your character through situations that challenge you to deal with adversity or to learn about a different culture.
