It's absolute bullshit that gaps in employment are perceived as a red flag.

Then they'll say "no one wants to work anymore" while erecting as many artificial barriers to employment as possible

The whole system is bad

That was when I wasn't working at any of the other jobs I listed.

I got laid off in December and haven’t had a single god damn good lead since then. I’m looking forward to this question in any interviews I manage to land, hopefully within the next 10 fucking years.

Thanks. It’s a tough time to be unemployed but I have a good network of folks that want to help. 3.5 months in I am starting to lose hope and am looking at backup plans (unemployment runs out after 6 months), but I finally got a positive result from a role that I’m actually pretty interested in with the University of Washington. It would be a very solid job and up to a 20% pay increase depending on what I could negotiate. Fingers crossed.
