Should this question (http://workplace.stackexchange.com/q/55420/40657) be re-opened?

Clearly, it is not a duplicate of (http://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/55299/gap-of-4-5-months-in-my-resume-after-graduating-due-to-health-reasons-how-do-i)

Both deal with completely different reasons for a gap, so approaching both of them would be different IMO.

@Dawny33 I wish we had a better way to handle those "resume gap" questions, we have about 500 of them at this point and they are all slightly different yet basically the same question

Ha ha. But, is it okay to mark them duplicates? Cause, different reasons might in fact, be different unique reasons.

Gap due to an injury, is definitely different than the gap due to a vacation. And both can't be dealt/handled in a similar way. (Just my opinion.)

@Dawny33 I think there are basically three situations, one is "I took time off work voluntarily for [vacation, travel, career change, etc]" another is "medical reasons" and the third is "god laid off, couldn't find work"

workplace.stackexchange.com/q/11197/2322 and workplace.stackexchange.com/q/55685/2322 are duplicates, imo
