Jeremy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I worked in Basingstoke for a year after finishing my degree, I guess you could consider that to be a gap year of sorts.

Loz Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I think that is defined as a "crap year", not a "gap year", Jeremy. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17665-gap/page/2/#findComment-442549 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Didn't have a planned gap year; do extended periods of unemployment count? Wondering if I'm on one now... After school took a short typing course and started work. Did a degree ten years later and worked to put myself through it, so no gap year possible, though not sure I'd have wanted one. Weren't they supposed to be about adding worthwhile charity work to your CV to increase your chances of looking interesting at your first job interviews?
