Re-enter workforce after personal project: Leverage skills, target roles.

The user has been out of work for a year, focusing on a personal project, and now needs to re-enter the workforce. This is an opportunity to strategically market the skills gained during the project. Clearly articulate the personal project as a valuable experience, highlighting achievements, challenges overcome, and acquired skills (e.g., project management, specific technical skills, marketing, problem-solving, self-discipline). Frame this 'gap' as a period of entrepreneurial pursuit. Target roles that value initiative and independent work. Tailor the resume to showcase these transferable skills and be prepared to discuss the project passionately in interviews.
