Employment gap is one of the fears an employer might have towards employing an applicant. When there's an employment gap, whereby an applicant is out of job for a long time it sends a bad signal to the employer. The employers would have such fears like:

The fear that the applicant is not fit for a role as no one is willing to hire the applicant for a long time, hence
the employment gap there

There's the fear that something awful might have happened at the applicant's last job. Hence, the gap and out of job for a long time

Another fear that an employer might have towards one with employeement gap is that such an applicant might have bad professional judgment
