Easy questions have easy answers, right?
I tried to get the US-Citizenship. But then came the Macarena…
Yes, i was pursuing other opportunities that do not relate to this field so i did not include them
I was told one way is: I singed a nda and I’m not allowed to answer that
My refusal to answer is proof that I’m trustworthy :3
You’d still be asked to provide start and end dates and place of employment if your work was confidential. If the NDA prohibits you from disclosing your employment entirely, it will typically include a restriction against disclosing the existence of the NDA itself.
“I legally cannot tell you what I was doing from 20xx-20xx”
I’d still ask follow-up questions. Was it in the public or private sector? What branch or industry? Were you in a leadership role, part of a team, or working as an individual contributor? What skills did you develop during that employment that would be beneficial to your employment in this role?
“I cannot answer any of those except the last one, which is that I learned how to avoid questions like these”
Was singeing the NDA the reason you didn’t keep that job?
Just lie. There is absolutely nothing unethical about lying about timeframes on your resume.
Looking for a job after being made redundant, but still in good standing with your former coworker or manager? Just say you still work there.
Otherwise they’ll have way more leverage when it comes to salary negotiation.
My friend did this when he got made redundant, landed a well paying job, after months of being unemployed.
You have no reason to have a gap on your resume because you’ll be unfairly punished for it.
Just lie. It’s 100% ethical.
Haha, as if anyone actually asks that. A gap gets you automatically rejected by the employment AI, long before humans see it.
Can someone confirm from* a recruitment standpoint.
What does one put on the resume then?
You use the other AI to fill it in on the resume.
lies
Went Karouac on everyone’s ass!
“Sorrry, I have an NDA”
NDAs generally prohibit you from stating that you are under NDA.
Better to be cryptic “I can’t really go into details due to my clearance”.
That doesn’t work either
They still want name of employer and dates
Lots of cleared applicants have probably applied there in the past
I am not at liberty to discuss this gap.
I could tell you but…
I’d go to prison and you’d have to sign some kind of NDA
Ohh, juicy. Where do I sign?
OMG, reply threads are in rainbow colors. I just noticed.
Hah! I had the same reaction when I noticed. It’s neat.
I could tell you, but this unspeakable information is bound to turn even the most capable minds towards madness.
You were also probably wondering, what’s in the canister?
i have never been asked this question and i actively remove positions that aren’t relevant to the job i send that particular resume to
FMLA is always a safe bet. Only one available to care for a dying family member buys sympathy and is an area they can’t legally ask any follow-up questions.

It’s a store, they sell clothes, I worked there.
"I was hiking across the country to find my inner self“
I was soul-searching but only bagged a few of them.
You don’t bag them. They’re bottled.
If Canada can put milk in bags,
And while I was out looking for myself, I found Ashley, Brittany, Cassie, and Evan…
“The economy”
“That’s when I was happy” is the only correct answer.
Time loop
I could have been in that gap once, twice … a million times … we don’t know
A dozen times, a hundred, it’s impossible to tell.
“I was unemployed”
- Why?
- Can they not even keep a job?
“I took a sabbatical”
- Mysterious
- Arousing
- Shows off the size of your enormous sack
What’s your biggest strength?
The size of my enormous sack
Santa?
Randy Marsh, sir, you’re hired.
I love Randy Marsh, but theres absolutely no way in hell I’d hire him, the legal risks would be high as fuck, plus there’s always the risk he would start a coup and take over the place.
I don’t care if he’s qualified, he’s Randy fucking Marsh, that’s a danger to your wellbeing.
Sounds like you need a little tegridy.
I’m having some tegridy right now.
