Not difficult to understand

  I had a six year gap. I tried to found a startup with a buddy and it fell through. I had enough savings to spend time learning new technologies and leveling up my skills. It made me unemployable. It really sucked. Finally taking a temp gig for four months got the phone to start ringing.

    That’s not a gap, you were working for the startup. Even if the company never put a product on the market, you were still working. Doesn’t matter if your didn’t even form an LLC. You should put it on your resume and proudly describe the work your did and challenges you faced when anyone asks about it.

      The startup ended much earlier than the rest of the time that I spent learning new tech. It wouldn’t have been plausible to expand the startup time for a plethora of reasons. I did learn to use it on my resume from a similar online discussion.

    Why not lie about it?

    Bosses aren’t people, lying to them isn’t just right, it’s a duty.

      No wonder why none of your bosses treated you well if you have this kind of thinking. You must be a pain to work with.

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

  They want people who like to be abused.

  They don’t want people with self-respect.

    And that’s how you don’t get a call back

  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
