Easy questions have easy answers, right?
Yes. I created the document in Google docs, and you opened it in Word.
That’s why you should provide PDF of you resume.
“I was unemployed”
- Why?
- Can they not even keep a job?
“I took a sabbatical”
- Mysterious
- Arousing
- Shows off the size of your enormous sack
EDIT : When I took my sabbatical and I was dating at the same time, instead of being seen as a scruffy bum it actually did give an air of mystique, since most people at that age were not doing things like that.
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.
That’s why my resume is just a QR code.
“That is the year when I was happy.”
“I cosplayed as a person who was free.”
Will this actually work?
For the most part, yes. They only really ask the question because they automatically assume you were in jail if you have a gap over 2’ish weeks long. So they’re really just looking for some sort of explanation besides “I was just unemployed for no reason.” Because they assume “no reason” is really “I don’t want to admit that I was in jail.”
Lol who tf actually thinks that. Ive hired and never thought that
Man, you must live a privileged life if it didn’t even cross your mind that jobs might exist where that is a legitimate concern.
What if a small gap on their resume means jail?? What the fuck are you on about
Chill dude. I’m saying that there are jobs that employ people who often have a criminal history, and gaps in their employment record really often are because tey went to jail.
So, even though you may not interview very many former criminals in your line of work, surely you shouldn’t be at a loss to understand why anyone would ever think that.
Im saying the hiring managers that think that are brain dead
I give 'em the old “caring for a sick or dying family member.” Look sad that they brought it up. That usually shuts them up.
Wouldn’t any criminal record be public record? Couldn’t they just look it up?
2 weeks is barely enough to get an interview. Who thinks jail? lmao
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
In Germany, just ask them what the gap between 1933 and 1945 in their company’s history is as a direct response.
