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.

Haha, as if anyone actually asks that. A gap gets you automatically rejected by the employment AI, long before humans see it.

I tried to get the US-Citizenship. But then came the Macarena…

I always put in "traveling overseas"

In my case this is actually true, but I've never had anyone question me taking 12 months off every few years

“Sorrry, I have an NDA”

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago (9 children)

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”.

"Those are line breaks. You see it's easier to read if you break up blocks of text into paragraphs separated by a whole empty line."

"I took four months off to recover from burnout"

[–] Fallofturkey@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

That's pretty much what I said - I took some time off for my family. I was getting called 3-4 times a week between 6pm-5am, often times not being present for them, so I had to make a change or risk losing them. I got the job and don't get called at night. Win-win all except for those 4 months without paying and stress of resume rewrites and a million applications.

I was working on my mental health

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh you have had mental health problems? I'm not sure we're going to be a good fit for your kind...

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago

Good luck proving what they thought.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only if it's the stated reason they don't hire you.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, in the example given they literally said not s good fit for your kind.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But the stated reason for refusal will be "we have found a candidate that better fits the position"

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (6 children)

It wasn't in the example given, that's my whole point.

"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
