Have an interview tomorrow that I’m super excited about, but have a gray spot on my CV (quit/being quitted from a job I hated really recently).

Worried that it basically makes travelling for the interview pointless if they’ll just dismiss me out of hand. Not even sure if I can talk my way round it, or if that’s even worth doing.

How long a ‘gray spot’?

#172

just lie and say you went travelling.

then when you get the job create a series of photoshopped images to show everyone of you and a fictional person on holiday

As in, between applying for the role (so it’s mentioned on my CV) and being offered an interview.

Like, I’m happier now I’ve left, and can cover it up in the future, but for this one I’ve got to explain it, and I’m really not looking forward to it.

can’t do that.

[not sure why I keep putting emojis on posts]

But how long a gap is it?

Oh right, sorry. About six months, all in.

#177

That sounds a bit awkward, but could you just explain why it wasn’t the right fit for you?

#178

I’ve had a similar gap and have just proactively explained it by saying I went travelling. It was never challenged so could you not do the same?

Waiting in Dr’s surgery. Someone has basically brought their 9 year old or something in with the flu…can’t be that sick because they haven’t shut up, but seriously?!
Yes, I am a professional Dr and can diagnose flu on sight

With this one, it was on my CV when I applied, so I can’t ignore it.

I’d just be honest, if they ask at all. Say that you’d left your previous job because it wasn’t right for you, and that you were looking for work and that it took a while to find something appropriate because there wasn’t much about, at least not anything that you were being put forward for by agents. Pff! Recruitment agents - aren’t they terrible!

What a company doesn’t want to hear was that you left your last job under a cloud and it took you ages to find something because you couldn’t be bothered looking for a job.

I can’t do any work because my employers have cancelled my Creative Cloud membership. Apparently they didn’t think anyone was using it. This is worrying. Will probably take a day or two to sort, and I’m off after tomorrow to move house.

Just had a call from a recruiter where she asked me a bunch of questions, spoke to me really excitedly about the job, then asked my current salary. Because the job in question has a lower salary, she ended the call and seemed really pissed off. Not sure what I’ve done wrong there.

Anyway, hope you’re all ok. I feel like I haven’t seen @Witches on here for ages, but I think it’s just that she changed her avatar.

She posts once every four or five days. Not nearly enough! obviously I’m just being selfish and there are a zillion good reasons not to post on here

Drinking an Irish Cream stout. This is ok

She used to be all over this place, I do hope all is well @Witches. One of the good guys.

I think she’s busy with stuff through the day.

If you say her name three times into a mirror, she’ll pop up in the Evening sometimes.
