Re: What to say when you go back to work?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Telling them i used to gamble for a living will not work... [/ QUOTE ] Then apply places that it doesn't matter. Every thread someone makes about "I'm considering going pro" always has someone saying, gl getting a job after being out of the market for an extended time. You removed yourself from the market to gamble and will have some consequence in certain fields, deal with it. Asking people about how to lie your way into something you cognitively removed yourself from is pathetic. [/ QUOTE ] So harsh yet so true. [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: What to say when you go back to work?
[ QUOTE ]
Eh, why can't people just tell the truth? If they don't hire you then [censored] them, they're a bunch of pretentious pricks. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, well they do come off that way... But, there are just some things you don't bring up during an interview (truth or not). Gambling happens to be one of them. Job interviews suck... A buddy of mine is a stand up comic, and he faces negativity when he brings that up during interviews as well...

Tell them you were in rehab for a meth addiction. Everyone sympathizes with a drug addict. Make sure to ask for time off to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings each day at noon.

You've spent the last 2 years, travelling, getting to know yourself/purpose and supplementing your adventures with investment returns (all while keeping abreast of current trends in IT). [/ QUOTE ] This is so awesome.

[/ QUOTE ] Some people think it's a prejudice against their former job or some topic they brought up when, in fact, they just aren't good at interviews and are completely clueless to this fact. I can imagine that it's possible a former stand-up comic might be suckier at presenting himself professionally than he realizes.
