"Yeah, I spent that time driving Uber/Doordash/whatever."

No boss to confirm/deny, and it's not like Uber is going to tell a random employer when one of their drivers were active.

Depending on your career, this might be worse than not doing anything

Yes, i was pursuing other opportunities that do not relate to this field so i did not include them

"That's when I was happy" is the only correct answer.

They want people who like to be abused.

They don't want people with self-respect.

"The economy"

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I had a six year gap. I tried to found a startup with a buddy and it fell through. I had enough savings to spend time learning new technologies and leveling up my skills. It made me unemployable. It really sucked. Finally taking a temp gig for four months got the phone to start ringing.

That's not a gap, you were working for the startup. Even if the company never put a product on the market, you were still working. Doesn't matter if your didn't even form an LLC. You should put it on your resume and proudly describe the work your did and challenges you faced when anyone asks about it.

It’s called a line break. Now I know why you needed someone proficient in MS Word!
