The Microsoft-owned company released a new feature that allows people to add a career break to their LinkedIn profiles, giving them a way to explain the gaps in their resume.
Career break types include parenting, layoffs, bereavement, career transition and travel.

“The goal here is to be able to provide space for people to share more context and color about how these experiences have helped them grow and develop skills that are valuable in life and at work,”
