Bump. What about teaching? If I want to start teaching and I have LL.M. and NET ? But have a gap. Should I be open about spending it on competitive exams or should I concoct a fake story ? I just need that first job.
5 years for competitive exams (unsuccessfully I'm assuming) looks bad. 1 or 2 years is fine, you need to know when to stop. I'd suggest making up something for the remaining years. Family circumstances, illness etc are all options
Here you go :)
