In Germany, you can do: “Explain the corporations history gap between 1933 and 1945.”
: Deutsche Bank left the chat:
I am unable due to having signed an NDA.
But let’s just say the world is still here. You’re welcome.
Okay and who can we verify your NDA with
Unfortunately that’s covered by a pinky swear
I’ve seen an interview with a guy that said, with a straight face, “for legal reasons I’m not allowed to disclose to you whether or not I have an NDA with <company>”.
I’m pretty sure they make NDAs where you’re not allowed to disclose the other party as well.
Hold on i wanna put on my bird law hat and double down on this one
Before anyone actually updates their resume to look better based on a meme:
Sabbatical is just a long vacation. It’s not that you stop being employed, you just take an extended leave and almost always have an agreed-upon return date.
A sabbatical has also come to mean a lengthy, intentional break from a career for non-academic professionals as well. There are very few norms and expectations for non-academic, or professional, sabbaticals. They can be paid or unpaid, affiliated with one’s employer or self-directed, and have a variety of durations, from several weeks to over a year
Idk, sabbatical is everything under the umbrella of this was a decision on purpose
In opposition to I was looking for a job but no one wanted to hire me.

I don’t understand by what metric a gap in a resume is a bad thing.
“Made a bunch of money, I’m good at piling money, didn’t want to work to McDonald’s. Made renovation in my house untill I had a good offer” that fuck is wrong with that. ?
They don’t want people who can easily walk away. They need you to live paycheck-to-paycheck in fear of losing your job at all times.
Job interview in 10 minutes, planning to say essentially this if they ask about my 2 month job gap. Will update if it goes poorly.
They want desperate people who will take abuse not so.ebody thst has optiond.
Especially when in a hiring mindset, employers can see it as you being undesirable or lazy, maybe even covering for quitting before getting fired and being out of work suddenly and without a plan. “If you were such hot shit, why aren’t you jumping from job to job, higher and higher up the ladder?” That kind of thing.
What’s important to keep in context is that typically one provides relevant job experience on a resume. Not all job experience. So gaps might be actual work, even.
Typically if you can have a good excuse and say you did something productive with the time, it’s fine. “I was looking for work for 6 months after we moved and it was a tough market. I spent free time helping with a local community gardening project” would be totally acceptable. “I took a 3 month break to go work on an organic farm” is still work, just not relevant to your job application at Cinnabon or whatever.
There isn’t a single question you can possibly ask in an interview that doesn’t have a million threads like this complaining about it and assuming the worst about its intentions or what the interviewer will conclude from its answer.
The general rule seems to be that any kind of question that you might do badly on, is a bad question.
I was consulting! Go ahead, ask my opinion about something and I’ll consult you.
After that, I drove into the hills
And traded my car for a bottle of pills
And after that, I was on a vision quest
Put my mind, body, and soul to the test
And after that, I met my totem spirit
It’s a rattlesnake, so I had to kill it
Then I drank all his blood and stole his powers
And slithered around in the dirt for hours
And after that I started jerking off
Up on a mountain, jerking off
Down by the river, jerking off
And that’s when I had my epiphany:
You can’t spend your whole life jerking off
And after that, I went back to the city
