Interview 1:
“Can you explain this two month gap in your resume?”
“Yeah, I wanted to wind down for a bit and had some cash saved up.”
“You just chose not to have a job?”
“Pretty much.”
Interview 2:
“Says here you didn't work for… two months?”
“Yep, needed to wind down.”
“I get it. I took a year for myself the last time I left a job.”
Guess which one I've been working with for the past four years.
They're not perfect, but they respect my time and the pay's more than decent.
