“That was a period of my life that is none of your business.”
And that’s how you don’t get a call back
Suits me. I wouldn’t want to work for anyone that nosy anyway.
"I was hiking across the country to find my inner self“
And while I was out looking for myself, I found Ashley, Brittany, Cassie, and Evan…
It’s a store, they sell clothes, I worked there.
Never have to explain my work history for… well, until I flee the country. Self-employed yay!
Meeting clients like “hi yes I’m capable, responsible, and don’t want to rob you” goes a long way
I have a one year gap in mine and I can’t remember anyone asking about it.
Went Karouac on everyone’s ass!
My resume has a bigger gap than goatse
In principle they shouldn’t be allowed to ask that. if they seem to be giving too much weight to that they are just being lazy on trying to evaluate you and they will likely be bad employers who believe that taking time off for yourself is a red flag
I tried to get the US-Citizenship. But then came the Macarena…
Just lie. There is absolutely nothing unethical about lying about timeframes on your resume.
Looking for a job after being made redundant, but still in good standing with your former coworker or manager? Just say you still work there.
Otherwise they’ll have way more leverage when it comes to salary negotiation.
My friend did this when he got made redundant, landed a well paying job, after months of being unemployed.
You have no reason to have a gap on your resume because you’ll be unfairly punished for it.
Just lie. It’s 100% ethical.
They want people who like to be abused.
They don’t want people with self-respect.
Big if true

I spent some time in a mountain cave replica in a Nepalese themed restaurant, diligently honing my programming skills without the noise of the outside world. No internet, no mains, no toilet. Just me, my laptop, an angry manager who called the police and 60 charged replacement batteries that fell off a truck.
There I created the art of meditative programming where I learned to program not just my machine, but myself. As a result of this resume gap I am now able to function as a 13.6% more productive employee and have finally met the benchmark of 1.0x engineer. At my former employer I delivered a project which brought them in revenue totaling at least $12, giving me priceless experience because of this training.
