So I've got that interview tomorrow, I'm scared.
I'm going to just sit there farting and sweating and no say a word, it's going to be awkward as hell.
How do you explain not working for the last 4 years?

Say you were on a journey to find yourself.

>> No.7831717

Because it looks like you're lazy (I am)

>> No.7831745

>>7831736
That actually might work, how are they going to disprove it?

>> No.7831751

Just make up stories about working full time during those 4 years

for reference just look for companies or stores that went bankrupt since then and give them the contact info of some close relative.
if they ask for more detailed info (like tax receipts) then just tell them you were working under the table

>> No.7831752

One shot of booze before you go to take the edge off.

>> No.7831762

The problem is that what THEY want are people who value their job over their own lives, and anything else.

They are probably not going to like someone who values religion that much to spend 4 years on it.
