Easy questions have easy answers, right?
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.
Yes. I created the document in Google docs, and you opened it in Word.
That’s why you should provide PDF of you resume.
“That is the year when I was happy.”
“I cosplayed as a person who was free.”
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
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.”
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.
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
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
