Dear all,

I am a applicant after 26/6. When I was preparing my application form, I encountered a problem. Before I got my first job in China, I have lived in UK for 4 years. The first 3 years, I finished my Bachelor & Master degrees. But the last year, I did nothing, just relax and travel in UK. It means that I have 1 year Gap between finished degree & work.

How do I write in the application form? I want to state the fact (i.e. 1 year relax & rest before got a job), is that ok?

Thank you.

Write Unemployed or 1 year off to Travel/See UK i guess

Just remember do not lie because if you do get caught out , only you suffer the consequences.
For that 1 year did you have a base from which you operated or were you moving from place to place ?

Thank you.

Actually, I just travel around UK & relax. After that year, I came back to China, and got a job in China.

I think you are right, I'd better to write the truth. (e.g. relax for one year).

Cause truth is the most important thing.

You can write " job search "

One year relax and travelling may not be good idea to write in application.
