  I used to sell books in a college town and one day, this guy came in looking a little… off. He was attempting to dress up, but his suit was maybe 20 years out of date.

  He looked and sounded like a burnout case, what my friends and I called “crispy around the edges”, he was a little bit fried.

  “Hey man, do you have any resume books?”

  “Sure, they’re right over here.”

  “Do you have one that can tell me how to cover a gap in my resume?”

  “Well, sure, but it depends on how big of a gap and what you were doing.”

  "You know, in a lot of other towns, that could count against you, but here? You could list that and have a hiring manager go “DUUUUUDE! I WAS THERE TOO! SANTA MONICA BABY!!!”

    This very well could be the best response I’ve ever heard for this.

    Absolutely nothing comes after that.

  I took a 10 year sabbatical to find myself and to see where I want to be in the future. I wanted to better myself for me and the world around me.

  Now every action of mine is deliberate and closer to my true destination. Those years of reading and meditation led me here at

  I had some idiot ask me that question when the answer was fairly obviously that I was in school. Didn’t even take the time to understand my resume.
