Well... they aren't forced to hire you either.

>>49534938
Why do you even bother? They'll never hire you anyway. Long-neeters are discriminated against, and for good reason : they tasted freedom, thus will make terrible slaves.

Your only chances at life now is to either find a sugar mommy to pay for your neetdom, or start your own business (undeclared if possible). But don't expect any corpo or company to ever give you a job. Maybe on gubment payroll for the lowest imaginable gubment trash job like picking up trashes left on the ground in the public spaces.. But usually they prefer to hire niggers freshly off the boat who don't speak a word of english to do this kind of stuff.

Lie and say you were running your own business and due to Covid it was forced to shut down. Just have some sort of story to go off, and steer the conversation into being angry about the IRS going after venmo.
Interviews are all about keeping the focus off yourself.

And that you need to work only to have some funds trying to escape the rat race.

If it’s that long you have to take a business

1-2years a family member had a chronic illness and you decided to quit work take out your retirement fund and attend to your sick relative full time who has beaten cancer

If it’s more than 2 years you need a “failed business”. You ran a business and it started failing due to Covid could never get back to where it was hence you are looking for work they’ll nod their heads and move on

Business can be anything Landscaping, Cleaning, Online Apparel doesn’t matter
