FFFF. Just spoke with the recruiter for the job I thought went so well on Wednesday. They thought it went well too, liked me, and arent considering anyone else, but there was some concern with my gap in employment. WTF is this shit.

Show them your instagram so that they know you weren't in rehab or something.

Actually, maybe it's not a great idea to share personal social media of any sort with a potential or current employer..

That's balls though. The heck does it even matter?

That concern is invariably coming from a Boomer. :D

Also: "I was recharging my batteries."

Also: Fuck those people.

Fucked if I know. Some people think it's awesome and a huge plus, some people have great big career boners and cant understand why someone wouldn't want to be working.

Oddly, it's coming from someone my age.

that is an opportunity. You can pare down the answer to show your sense of adventure, AND imply that's out of your system. Dazzle them with the story, make them 'get it', if you play this right they'll be ok with this I guarantee.
The best part of an interview is the "so tell me about yourself" portion. That's where you make an impression.

Man honestly, if they are going to count that against you, that's a place you don't want to work.

It's funny, in this process I've definitely run into several people who think the purpose of life is to get a job, climb the ladder, have a few kids, then die.
Those are people that end up in a wheelchair on the porch complaining that they wish they could have done this or that when they were young enough to do it. Fuck being one of those people

No matter what Iron you buy. Make sure it has atleast 3" of depth. Grill pans that are not actually Pans suck. Use Ghee to season them.
