The whole things is messed up. I signed up for an entry level job right out of high school and they wanted me to explain to them the gap in my resume. Me simply telling them I just graduated high school and was only allowed to do volunteer work beforehand was not good enough. I signed up for a janitor job after quitting my burger job. I signed up for a bunch of job beforehand for two or three months without success. When asking about the status of my application, they asked me about the gap in my application for which I told them I was job hunting and attending college. That was not good enough. The hospital HR told me to consider working for a burger joint for 5 months and then come back to them for the entry level janitor job. If I didn’t find a well paying seasonal job that didn’t care about a employment gap afterword, I would’ve lost my sh**. That job became permanent and I’ve been climbing the ladder sense.
Thank you soo much for posting this video. I’m the opposite I fell into accounting without the degree & I discovered I enjoy it but I’m struggling to find the confidence to move forward. Listening to your video helped encourage me that I’m not alone and helped relieve a lot of the anxiety I was struggling with, thank you!
Tired of working for losers and working with bums slaving away my dignity. I wish I could do my own thing and not worry about being laid off or homeless
This happened to me and the toxic person worked themselves out of a job. I remained calm, professional and caring yet she was literally losing all control. Best day ever was when I was told she had been let go.
10:17 10:17 10:17 😢😮😮😮but there is alot of evil that take place in working places that have nothing to do with your inner feeling or your confidence. Work place needs prayer alone.
Aren't we allowed to have babies and nurture them atleast in their initial years, 4 to 6 years while I had 2 kids? It seems recruiters/professionals just popped out from somewhere and don't understand the concept of 'family'. They must talk to their moms and ask how is it to raise 2 kids on their own without any help ALL ALONE. I am having a hard time justifying the gap. No matter how well I did academically or during my job before the kids, now I am totally useless for them just because I decided to have babies and nuture them when they needed me the most.
I dropped out of school like 2 yrs ago when i was 15. I just turned 17 a month ago and trying to get a job but i have major health issues and social anxiety from isolating myself from reality for the past 2 years of doing absolutely NOTHING at all. Just constantly sitting there in my bedroom playing videos games every single day. Im scared to go outside to even try to communicate with anyone because of how bad my social skills have become, i have honeslty become a failure and i regret it the most and me isolating myself has fkd up my mental health but now i realize that i need to take my life seriously.
I don't explain them. I tell them why and if they don't like it then it's their loss. At the end of the day I don't control how long I stay at an employer because the last times the separations have not been on my terms (layoff). I tell them, I was laid off due to a restructure or the contract ended and leave it at that. I don't explain myself. I'm not lying. A company can terminate an employee's job and cause a job gap but yet somehow that's a problem for the new firm?
1. Know what that job and industry is looking for 2. Find/built the bridge from where you are to what you want. 3. Make a record of your transferable skills/experiences. 4. Stay on the lookout for new postings/openings/opportunities. 5. Make sure you tailor your resume strategically
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to build generational wealth and cultivate financial knowledge, you must be in the market......
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.
@@divlweb Understanding your financial needs and making effective decisions is very essential. If I could advise you, you should seek the help of a financial advisor. For the record, working with one has been the best for my finances.
I’m Glad i stumbled on this. Please, if its not too much of a hassle for you, can you drop the details of the expertise that assisted you and how to get in touch….
Why am I just seeing this. I just quit my job 4 weeks ago... partially because of condescending narcissistic coworkers. The boss was never on the work floor either.
Not only did I fully research the company I also was prepared to discuss how my skill set meets the needs of that company and how I can potentially bring the company to the next level. I brought notes. That is totally acceptable. I also developed engaging questions regarding the company and then questioning about my potential role.
This is me to a tee! Those thought consume me! Do they like me? Do I look awkward? What will I say? It’s prevents me From being my authentic self! I wish I could turn these thoughts off! I need to unlearn this. Better yet renew my Mind with the Word of God!
My gap in work/resume is due to my age. I am low 60's in age but can't seem to get hired for positions in management that I know I am very qualified for. In fact, I had 3 online interviews for one company and they were so excited to see me in person, that the hiring manager went out of his way to travel from Dallas to IL for our interview. When we met, his impression was not as enthusiastic as he was on the phone. Made me feel terrible that my age did seem to matter. Sadly I never heard back from them other than the dreaded email stating we are going with a different candidate (I was one of two). But I did see the other candidate as I was walking out and he looked late 40's, early 50's. Very sad indeed as I was hoping to work another 10 years. I have been out of work for 9 months, been on several qualifying management roles and nothing.
I got moved at work while I was going through a lot with my best friend of 18 years and her suffering really badly with mental health. A few weeks into this job she committed suicide. I had some time off to deal with things, but tried to make things as normal as possible for them, but they ignore me and pretend I'm not there. If there having conversation about how slim someone is, they never mention anything about how I look, I'm 4ft 11 inches and weigh 49kg, but they've not recognized it on me, but they comment on others being small or slim I'm confused
Getting laid off is easy to answer, but getting fired is not. There are so many companies that automatically disqualify you if you say that you were let go for performance issues. They don't care if you put a positive spin to the unfortunate circumstance, and will still label you as a bad employee. I think this video gives good advice, but a lot of employers are hypocritical about honesty when they lie to employees all the time.
