Job Seekers Share Amusing and Invaluable Tips to Explain a Gap in a Resume

Job interviews can be a painful process. There's nothing quite as humiliating as begging all the people with money to give a bit of it to you in exchange for completing silly little tasks. They are also something that, by design, is rigged with opportunities for job applicants to slip up. These things are a process of elimination, and it's often brutal.

One of the most common ways in which people get penalized is the classic demand of 'explain this gap in your resume'. Sometimes we have periods of unemployment that are down to nothing but our own bad luck, yet it seems like employers want to judge us on this. Luckily, a Twitter thread has come in clutch with some useful (and some just plain entertaining) tips on how to explain away a gap in a resume. When you're desperate for a job, all kinds of things are worth a try.
