The Myth of the Resume Gap

[CrayZee]

Resumes and job interviews are lie/embellishment-fests anyway. I wouldn't bother putting the poker stuff on there unless you're trying to get some sort of finance job or something. It's probably okay to put it in the "hobbies/interests" section. You have to remember that some people are opposed to gambling.

Those that are the best interviewers tend to get jobs pretty well. I wouldn't put out-right lies on a resume (i.e. checkable college education), but benign ones that pass under the radar and look good is what everyone seems to do.

My fav interview question, I heard last night at table next to me in Starbucks, is: "How much notice would give us in advance, if you were to quit?" My answer would be: "I quit whenever the F I wanna quit." I wonder why I never get hired. What the hell do you think everyone is going to say?

I think the harder places to get a job is when they actually test your critical skills, etc. (i.e., Microsoft). That way the BS factor doesn't count as much. If you're a bad test-taker, which some people are, then you're screwed. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
