  • i have never been asked this question and i actively remove positions that aren't relevant to the job i send that particular resume to

  • "That's when I was happy" is the only correct answer.

  • It’s called a line break. Now I know why you needed someone proficient in MS Word!

  • In principle they shouldn't be allowed to ask that. if they seem to be giving too much weight to that they are just being lazy on trying to evaluate you and they will likely be bad employers who believe that taking time off for yourself is a red flag

  • Just lie. There is absolutely nothing unethical about lying about timeframes on your resume.

    Looking for a job after being made redundant, but still in good standing with your former coworker or manager? Just say you still work there.

    Otherwise they'll have way more leverage when it comes to salary negotiation.

    My friend did this when he got made redundant, landed a well paying job, after months of being unemployed.

    You have no reason to have a gap on your resume because you'll be unfairly punished for it.

    Just lie. It's 100% ethical.
