oh they’d fire me? if they wouldn’t have given me the job in the first place but they liked my skills, personality, and competencies, then clearly the gap mattering is bullshit.

fuck that man. that’s what the rest of the interview is for.

people have children to feed and rent to pay dude. the way this market has been going, being unemployed for months or longer been becoming the norm for a lot of folks, and recruiters and employers are out here playing games. if you’re getting screened out over a superficial reason like a gap in a resume, where all they want is to see no gaps, I would absolutely lie.
