How do I explain employment gaps?
Worked as a retail cuck for 2 years, mostly because I was broke as fuck and needed money, then was scheduled 6-7 times a week and had no time for anything else. Now it looks really shitty on my resume.

What do you mean gaps? You were employed during those two years, weren't you?
>>18293340
employers take note of this type of shit? creepy
>>18293340
How is that an employment gap? You were literally employed
What gap?
>>18293356
Of course they do. It's not creepy at all
>employment gap
>literally no gap, 2 years working
dude you're fine. unless you put a career on hold for 2 years of retail. But then just explain "I was looking into other avenues of life at the time, and now this career is clearly looking like what I want to spend my life on."

Depends. Minimum part time wage they literally don't care, they can't afford to care. Anything above they care if you have >6mos where you don't do shit. Like no school, no work, no good excuse - I.E. travel/helping family.

Taking care of a sick mom/dad.

In this job market gaps of up to a year won't even be noticed. Gaps of 1-2 years can be explained away with any random excuse (ill, family issues, classes, etc)
Only gaps of more than 2 years will need a good story.("I had a string of very short term temp jobs, none of which seemed worth mentioning")

What? Why wouldn't they?
>>18293495
Because it can legitimately take up to a year (The average is 6 months) to find a new job

Why would you have a gap though? Only a dumbass quits a job without finding a new one first. If you were fired then that's an acceptable reason for having a gap, but only if you were let go for financial reasons. If it was for misconduct, that's a huge red flag

Just lie.
>8 years of communism
>how dare people have a multi-month employment gap

What?

it's someone who is still so deranged by the fact that a black man was president that they still don't know what communism is
