Constant Source of Disappointment

~ I queue 85% of everything I reblog ~  I'm an anxious, emotional mess of a human who watches way too many romantic comedies to ever be a valuable member of society

Here is my opinion as a recruiter (of course recruiting is highly subjective and everyone has their own biases in hiring)

1. If its your first job after a gap, don't say its a health reason. They will probably not ask more but they'll probably mentally downgrade you because 'Are they really okay to come back to work?' If it's further back, it'll be less of an issue. This goes triple for any job that is physical.

2. Depending on hiring person, I find 'I was caring for a family member full time' to be a good reason for a gap that I won't question.

3. If you have the opportunity while in a gap, get a certification or degree. Then you can use that as a reason for your gap and it could potentially turn the view of that gap from negative to positive.

4. If you have a "good" reason, most people understand. I speak to people daily who were a Covid layoff and we don't count this gap against them. I also sometimes talk to people who have to explain gaps around 2008 with "Well that was during the financial crisis" and I go say no more I understand.

4. If you don't have a "good" reason, pretend you do. Don't lie but make it sound like the gap was a thing you chose. "I had the opportunity after leaving my last job to take a few months before looking for work again." "I was able to work on building my home business (Ebay, etsy, etc), but now I'm looking for something more stable."

“Why don’t Americans travel?” We can’t. 😑

I think on top of raising the minimum wage this needs to be a focus of ours as well. We’re overworked, miserable, exhausted. Everyone is jealous when you decide not to do overtime (if you’re even allowed to refuse). Everyone is jealous when you are out two weeks because you caught COVID and are trying to recover. Everyone is jealous if you get 8 weeks off to recover from surgery. “How was your vacation” people will say and I can always hear the bitterness in their voice. Americans are so broken that a ton of us straight up wish to be hurt or sick just to get a few weeks off lol. 1 in 4 Americans don’t get any PTO. The rest get on avg 2 weeks total. We are suffering, my dudes.

We also have the shortest maternity leave on avg I heard. This country doesnt even care abt new moms

Every horror game protag: *Meticulously goes through the dilapidated maze-like rooms and hallways of the Horror House, braving its murderous inhabitants and various traps, looking for puzzle pieces that’ll open all the locked doors which will lead even further into the house and to even more puzzle doors*

Me, if I were in the same situation:

I guess the solution to stress is becoming a landlord having more money. Who would have thought?
