I have a 9 year gap in my CV. I have never worked a day in my

Most companies dont take on graduates if they graduated over 2 years ago, let alone 9. If you had experience it might be ok, otherwise you're kinda fucked. Sorry brother

You travaled for 9 years, who care

You ran a business or businesses, or worked at a family business.

"My parents needed my help around the house."
You're a nurse, so they'll fill in the blanks themselves.

I only have 6 months of mandatory internship experience, which every nurse has to go through in our country. I have finished that months ago, so it's relatively fresh compared to my actual graduation.

I live in a 3rd world country where no one can afford to go on normal vacations yet alone travel for 9 years.

Telling them I helped my family out might be the only acceptable "lie".

Honestly, I considered telling them I had personal problems or maybe even that I was "depressed". But I realize that's pretty much the worst thing you can do. Right?

"My so and so family member had alzheimers and i needed to be there for him"

might be acceptable, my grandmother had alzheimers for like 9 or 10 years and needed consistent care.

Sick family member. No one would ever ask for documentation. And hell make up some bullshit about how you used your nursing skills.

Just say you were exploring other options, pursuing other fields.
Or playing video games and smoking weed, I cant belive its such a big deal

You should have thought about that before you took a 9 year vacation.

>but I was SAD!

That makes you a bad employee, anything you say would be lying. If you were hiring people, wouldn't YOU want to know that the person you are considering could suddenly slip into depression for 9 years?

If you want a job you are just going to have to lie, there is no way around it. Like anon said, say you were working with the family business/ selling on eBay shit like that.
