  “I had to provide end of life care to a close relative.”

  I have a big gap from a few years of depression and that’s my go to line. I have never ever heard a follow up question.

    How big are we talking, I sometimes feel like taking a year off to fix my mental health, but I fear it will kill my career

      I have a year of uni (unfinished), a year of an apprenticeship (unfinished) and then 1.5yrs of joblessness. Started at 20, I learned a trade in my mid twenties and have a solid career now. I just regret I was never able to finish uni.

    It’s relieving to hear I’m not the only one, that shit was crippling. Glad we both made it through!

  "I was unemployed"

  • Why?
  • Can they not even keep a job?

  "I took a sabbatical"

  It’s called a line break. Now I know why you needed someone proficient in MS Word!

  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

  FMLA is always a safe bet. Only one available to care for a dying family member buys sympathy and is an area they can’t legally ask any follow-up questions.

  Time loop

  I could have been in that gap once, twice … a million times … we don’t know

    A dozen times, a hundred, it’s impossible to tell.

  i have never been asked this question and i actively remove positions that aren’t relevant to the job i send that particular resume to

  Haha, as if anyone actually asks that. A gap gets you automatically rejected by the employment AI, long before humans see it.

    What does one put on the resume then?

      You use the other AI to fill it in on the resume.

    Can someone confirm for a recruitment standpoint.

    source
• lemmy12369@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I was told one way is: I singed a nda and I’m not allowed to answer that

  source

  • letsgo@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Was singeing the NDA the reason you didn’t keep that job?

    source
  • disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You’d still be asked to provide start and end dates and place of employment if your work was confidential. If the NDA prohibits you from disclosing your employment entirely, it will typically include a restriction against disclosing the existence of the NDA itself.

  “Sorrry, I have an NDA”

  source

  • TragicNotCute@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    NDAs generally prohibit you from stating that you are under NDA.

    Better to be cryptic “I can’t really go into details due to my clearance”.

    source

    • HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That doesn’t work either

      They still want name of employer and dates

      Lots of cleared applicants have probably applied there in the past
