I'm a mid-career professional. About 7 years ago, I changed careers. The two lines of work are both related to technology but have little in common otherwise.



  • Line of work "A": I was laid off twice due to company-level issues I could not control. Both of these resulted in several-month gaps in my work history. Then I had to leave my last job due to performance issues that were made worse by health problems. By now, my related skills are out of date and out of practice. My desire to do this kind of work has never come back, and I'm not really asked about any of these positions in my interviews.


  • Line of work "B": I have mostly been self-employed. I went back to the corporate world due to other life events and was quickly placed on a PIP that has little basis in reality. According to my mentor, a more senior member of my team, it appeared to be politically motivated.


I am now applying for new positions, but only one organization has been interested in interviewing me yet. The others are rejecting me. I'm concerned that my previous employment gaps from line of work "A" and my short tenure in my current job may be factors.



Now that I have experience in my current field working for someone else, when should I consider removing the old positions from my resume?
