OP didn’t touch on a major issue for PhD holders: over qualification. I’m a good example, even not having earned a degree. Can’t get a low-level IT job because my experience is too much. Nobody wants to hire somebody that’s able and likely to jump ship at the first opportunity.
Who is making you put it on your CV?
My relevant experience is in the last 10-years, unless I go further back, and then the experience is irrelevant due to age.
“Can you explain this 6 year gap on your CV?”
I took some college courses, backpacked and lived for a short while in Vietnam and tried to find myself and what I want to pursue in the future. Or just have a one man consultancy company. You worked freelance.
