  In Germany, you can do: “Explain the corporations history gap between 1933 and 1945.”

    And in the us, between 2025 and onwards

      No, see - the gap will cover 2021-2024, as those were the years they were heeding the “woke” mindset of Biden’s administration.

  I am unable due to having signed an NDA.

  But let’s just say the world is still here. You’re welcome.

    You’re joking! I’m supposed to thank you for all this shit?!?

    No no, you just put that on the resume so they don’t ask.

    2021-2022 Undisclosed work (still bound by NDA)

    Okay and who can we verify your NDA with

    source

    • tomiant@piefed.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      This cannot be disclosed due to the terms of the NDA.

    • kameecoding@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Unfortunately that’s covered by a pinky swear

    • halcyoncmdr@piefed.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ve had several NDAs that also cover disclosure of the other party. And those weren’t even for proper “work” as you’d generally define it.

    • thebestaquaman@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ve seen an interview with a guy that said, with a straight face, “for legal reasons I’m not allowed to disclose to you whether or not I have an NDA with <company>”.

      I’m pretty sure they make NDAs where you’re not allowed to disclose the other party as well.

  I don’t understand by what metric a gap in a resume is a bad thing.

  “Made a bunch of money, I’m good at piling money, didn’t want to work to McDonald’s. Made renovation in my house untill I had a good offer” that fuck is wrong with that. ?

    They don’t want people who can easily walk away. They need you to live paycheck-to-paycheck in fear of losing your job at all times.

    Job interview in 10 minutes, planning to say essentially this if they ask about my 2 month job gap. Will update if it goes poorly.

    There isn’t a single question you can possibly ask in an interview that doesn’t have a million threads like this complaining about it and assuming the worst about its intentions or what the interviewer will conclude from its answer.

    The general rule seems to be that any kind of question that you might do badly on, is a bad question.

    Before anyone actually updates their resume to look better based on a meme:

    Sabbatical is just a long vacation. It’s not that you stop being employed, you just take an extended leave and almost always have an agreed-upon return date.

    source

    • Skullgrid@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      A sabbatical has also come to mean a lengthy, intentional break from a career for non-academic professionals as well. There are very few norms and expectations for non-academic, or professional, sabbaticals. They can be paid or unpaid, affiliated with one’s employer or self-directed, and have a variety of durations, from several weeks to over a year

      Idk, sabbatical is everything under the umbrella of this was a decision on purpose

      In opposition to I was looking for a job but no one wanted to hire me.

    • mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      the term doesn’t require employment, it applies to any longer duration break from work, whether employed or not

  • tomiant@piefed.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah, and during my five year “sabbatical” I kept very up to date with developing business practices.

      Line goes up. Tada your an MBA.

    Exactly. Unemployment is just a forced sabbatical

  I once had to “explain the gap in my CV” when applying for a loan. And apparently, “I didn’t feel like working for those 6 months,” wasn’t a good enough explanation. Even though I think literally everybody personally understands the concept.

  I ended up saying that I spent the time taking care of my parents, since I did spend some of that time taking care of them.

  source

  • Oaksey@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I hope your parents are doing well.

    Any follow up questions as to whether your parents are going to pull you away from work?

    source

    • BillyClark@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It was part of the paperwork requested by the person who arranged my loan and there were no follow up questions.

  “There isn’t actually an open position. Its just to trick the shareholders into thinking we’re hiring which means growth.”

  My current company was kind enough to give a dropdown menu of reasons. I just chose one, no questions were asked.

    Are they hiring?

      Oh absolutely. My industry is has a big shortage in practitioners.

  After that, I drove into the hills

  And traded my car for a bottle of pills

  And after that, I was on a vision quest

  Put my mind, body, and soul to the test

  And after that, I met my totem spirit

  It’s a rattlesnake, so I had to kill it

  Then I drank all his blood and stole his powers

  And slithered around in the dirt for hours

  And after that I started jerking off

  Up on a mountain, jerking off

  Down by the river, jerking off

  And that’s when I had my epiphany: You can’t spend your whole life jerking off

  And after that, I went back to the city

  I mean, those are both legitimate and normal questions in an interview.

  source

  • The_v@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Its a fucking stupid and manipulative question for the employer to ask. No employer should give a fuck if somebody took a couple years to travel, take care of family, or just couldn’t find a job.

    What they are really asking "Are any of the time gaps in your job history, a job that you got fired from with cause? "

    Instead of being little shits about it just ask the actual question straight out. The shock value of asking a real non-bullshit questions in an interview has paid off many times for me when hiring.
