爲何你的工作經歷中有一段很長的空白期？

Between my first and second jobs,I decided to take a year off to travel around the world.

在第一份和第二份工作之間，我決定休息一年，到世界各地走走。

I backpacked from Asia to Africa and to Latin America,visiting more than 60 countries.

從亞洲到非洲，再到拉丁美洲，我走過60多個國家。

It was a great experience,probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I met so many interesting people from all over the world and made some great friends.

我遇見許多來自世界各地的有趣的人，也結交了一些好朋友。

I'm still in touch with some of them after three years.

如今已過了三年，我仍然與其中幾位保持聯繫。

Intercultural communication skills are among those I acquired during the trip and helped termendously in my current job.

不同文化之間的溝通技巧是我旅行中的一項收穫，對於現在的工作很有幫助。

I am sure that it will help me with this new position as well.

我相信對這個新職位也會有所助益。

可以回答因爲長期旅行，留學，育兒或是參加志願活動等，不管用什麼理由，最後都要向面試官強調因爲這些經歷，自己積累了寶貴的經驗，或是掌握了應聘職位所要求的技能。
