"Those are line breaks. You see it's easier to read if you break up blocks of text into paragraphs separated by a whole empty line."

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 23 points 1 week ago

"That's when I was happy" is the only correct answer.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago

That's too much info. A simple "I can" answers their question.

I got really into table tennis and lost track of time.

Yes, i was pursuing other opportunities that do not relate to this field so i did not include them

"The economy"

"Yeah, I spent that time driving Uber/Doordash/whatever."

No boss to confirm/deny, and it's not like Uber is going to tell a random employer when one of their drivers were active.

Depending on your career, this might be worse than not doing anything

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

I always put in "traveling overseas"

In my case this is actually true, but I've never had anyone question me taking 12 months off every few years

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Time loop

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

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Me: "I was moving in silence or under a NDA."

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Why not lie about it?

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

"I was hiking across the country to find my inner self“

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I was soul-searching but only bagged a few of them.

Never have to explain my work history for anyone! 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

Went Karouac on everyone's ass!
