[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 88558, member: 2672"] You’ll need to explain the two year time gap. Someone will question what you did for the two years you were studying and if you are ultimately declaring extra curriculars during that degree then it will be obvious you are leaving out some detail. Recruiters are pretty cynical people and will just assume the worst anyway if it is obvious something is missing. What you disclose will be very dependent on the application form and what you are explicitly asked to include. Some firms will have wording in their application that means you will have to include all details. Others less so. The absolute minimum you’ll need to include is university and degree subject/qualification. Depending on the application form format, you may find that you then have to include grades alongside this information, or won’t be able to proceed with your application. [/QUOTE]
