Unemployed since 10 months

[rahul10]

Hi.

I graduated in August 2019 (Bachelor's)

I Worked from November 2019 to May 2020 as a trainee.

and from May 2020 to current date (February 2021) I am unemployed due to pandemic.

What can I mention in SOP to justify this gap? In my gap, I was learning MS Excel/ MS Office and French since 2 months.

I have MBA offer and will be applying for SDS Visa filing by March 2021.

Please help

There is no requirement to mention these things but if you feel you want to why not exactly like you did here?

If you want you can mention the pandemic. Had to laugh at learning MS Office/Excel. That is very 1990s.

I'm not sure where you work, however the MS Office suite of applications is used extensively in large corporations. It's a required skill for many corporate jobs.

I do realize this but when is the last time you heard someone state that they've been at home teaching themselves how to use MS office or state in a CV that they are MS office proficient. It is basically understood that you can operate Office if you've used a computer in the past 20 years. Building an app in your spare time is more likely to be seen.
