"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.

Yes. I created the document in Google docs, and you opened it in Word.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That's why you should provide PDF of you resume.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

That's why my resume is just a QR code.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"That is the year when I was happy."

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

"I cosplayed as a person who was free."

[–] lime@feddit.nu 0 points 7 months ago

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.”

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Wouldn't any criminal record be public record? Couldn't they just look it up?

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol who tf actually thinks that. Ive hired and never thought that

[–] propaganja@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What if a small gap on their resume means jail?? What the fuck are you on about

[–] propaganja@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Im saying the hiring managers that think that are brain dead

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

2 weeks is barely enough to get an interview. Who thinks jail? lmao

[–] iamkindasomeone@feddit.org -1 points 7 months ago

In Germany, just ask them what the gap between 1933 and 1945 in their company's history is as a direct response.
