My current employment is seasonal full time where I am on board with my present employer from 6 months up to 11 months per year. How can I explain to an employer that my employment is seasonal full time and that I am on board with my employer for up to 6 months to 11 months per year? How would I explain the unemployment gaps when applying for employment while I am placed in nonpay status or furlough? Thank you for your assistance. I am looking for regular full time employment.
