  I give 'em the old “caring for a sick or dying family member.” Look sad that they brought it up. That usually shuts them up.

      The issue is that this is exactly what employers are trying to avoid. They want a good little worker bee who will show up every day and complete their tasks as assigned for 25 years straight. They don’t want someone who will just randomly decide to quit and focus on their hobbies.

  Wouldn’t any criminal record be public record? Couldn’t they just look it up?

  • Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You can have criminal records sealed, depending on what it is, etc.

      Also, in many jurisdictions you can’t look up criminal history older than a certain number of years

  No NDA on earth prohibits giving a vague idea of what the duties and industry were. You may not be able to say the specific projects you worked on, or maybe even the name of the employer under extreme circumstances, but that would be like MI5 level rare, and those folks aren’t out applying for the jobs you are.

  The real trick is having an LLC so you can just point to that and say you were consulting or self-employed during that time. Or have a friend with one.

    A buddy of mine had an LLC and I hired him to write my cover letter. He then had me fill some review about my experience with his company for some position he was applying for. I never lied, but the whole thing just felt so weird. But at the same time, that’s just normal. It’s not like he wasn’t capable of the work or something. He did a good job on my cover letter. He was a good grant writer before that. I just have that lingering Christian guilt that’s like “omg you’re doing something wrong! This is your conscience! Behave!”

  I also just think it’s human nature to see something like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 and say “where are 8nand 9?” It’s not necessarily an accusation or something. I’m not saying that never happens, some places and interviewers are awful. But I think a lot of people are just making sure there isn’t a typo or something.

  I had a 6 month gap and I said I was taking a sabbatical (which was the truth). No one batted an eye.
