Explaining Job Gaps on Your Resume

[widdi]

From worst to best:

- You were depressed, my grandma was dying tier sob stories: this just makes you look like an unhireable emotionally unstable bitch. NO

- You were at a failed firm: This is slightly better but it probably won’t work because HR uses your equifax work number and they’d wonder why a decently sized firm did not have you on.

- You were working at a failed startup: I looked up a startup I was interning at, and they did not put me in the equifax system while another medium sized firm did. This is probably because they had some random Indian from upwork/fiverr do the HR stuff. HR will probably not see this as a red flag

- You were working for an overseas firm (pick e.g. a French company that looks super professional but has zero English accessibility). In this case HR wouldn’t even bother. Most databases are not cross national

-and by far and away the best—you’ve been consulting on a 1099 basis through your own personal LLC, but are switching back to W2 work because your girlfriend wants you to have a stable salaried paycheck and benefits

There’s literally no way for them to confirm this. The most reliable way to cover your tracks is to say you were a contract employee of a medium-sized consultancy that required your niche skillset to meet the needs of a particular client. Then you’ll want to describe 2-3 clients in broad strokes but anonymized (e.g. “a large health insurer”), with the subtext that it’s likely been ambiguated because you had to sign a comprehensive NDA… maybe you can imply one of the datasets is HIPAA protected, then suggest another is Lockheed or something

Wouldn't they want some kind of verification that the startup actually existed? Like some company website, or some kind of paper work. They would also want proof of income, I reckon.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you’ve signed an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), aren't you still required to provide tax forms or proof of income when going through a background check?

 

[looksmaxxed]

the correct thing to say is you didn't want to financially support jews and their pets, and the correct jobs to apply for are jobs that are owned by antisemites

anything else and you're just a sucker

You would use a startup that did exist at one point and then gamble that they did not follow proper HR procedures

They could ask you for tax stubs which would mean that you would have to ghost them, but most HR are lazy and just do the equifax thing. If you didn't claim to get paid via W-2 they wouldn't expect it to show up there and the talks about an NDA would probably stop them from probing further.

It's better to take money from philosemites/semites and do the bare minimum as opposed to draining your parents' finances lmao

 

[looksmaxxed]

their money comes from government subsidies, which is in effect money from your parent paying taxes. jews don't create any value or products people need, thus all of their money comes from embezzlement and marketing to suckers/investors/the government.
