What to say when you go back to work?

[Super Tool]

Hey thanks for the advice guys... Some good stuff up here...

Anyways, I have a clean background, so I should be ok during the background checks. The background checks mostly come after I get employed though, during the secret clearance screening which takes about a year.

As far as time in between jobs goes (which i am most worried about), i have traveled alot (for fun) and I did some referral based IT consulting work... So i guess, i'd only be half way lying if mentioned those. I'd just have to stretch the truth a little i guess...

A "proper" 9-5 is also a great idea, just to apply from the standpoint of being already employed.
