Gaps on dev CV

[NickFitz]

I've got gaps of several months dotted throughout my CV, as one of my main goals in life is to do as little work as is humanly possible. I've never been asked much about them, and on the rare occasions that I have been, some hand-wavy stuff about taking a holiday or working on some stuff of my own has been accepted. I don't think clients really care too much, as long as it's obvious that you're not in the habit of upping sticks and leaving in the middle of a gig.

Not a code monkey but I have never gone straight from one gig to another, usually its 6 weeks to 2 months and has never been an issues, just be upfront and say I don't like taking holiday when on assignment so like to have some down time with the kids between contracts, I contract for the better work life balance.
