Recently went to an interview. They wanted to know what the 2 year gap in my CV was for, and I told them I was an experienced commodities trader and market analyst. They were intrigued and asked further, and I told them I was trading ICOs and shitcoins for the last two years. They politely ended the interview shortly thereafter.
How the fuck am I going to get a job after 2 years of wasted time?
>How the fuck am I going to get a job after 2 years of wasted time?
obviously you either pursue it desperately or continue trading. Did you completely run out of funds?
I'm almost out. Can maybe sustain 5-6 more months until I'm *flat* broke and move to my parents again. Not an option so need to start getting an income now.
I doubt the bull will come in the next few months so I'm starting to look.
become self-employed (worked for me)
You should have mentioned any penny stocks and ETFs you bought.
Does wanchain and link count?
i'm going down with the ship. why not, if I have to wage at the end either way, and there is a small chance to recover? It's not like I'm going to wake up tomorrow and suddenly become conscious of career bullshit after 2 years.
>experienced commodities trader and market analyst
Kek. I would not have been able to say that.
What are you even applying for?
Wait, do you really have to explain something like that? You can't just say "I just wanted to take a couple years to enjoy life?" Wtf?
Employers own you, dude.
Good shit.
You should have just said you're a forex trader. Close enough right?
Or a poker player.. close enough.
Repeat after me "I was between a rock and a hard place my father/ brother/ uncle/ goldfish was diagnosed with *insert terminal degenerative disease here* and had to look after him in his final months after that my dad/ uncle/ brother/ goldfish died and I had to take some personal time to figure out what I was going to do with my life thankfully I got myself out of the depression I was in after losing two family members in a short time and managed to get myself an interview here I know any gap on my employment record doesn't look good but I was in a bad place and thank god I was able to crawl out of it. *insert a single (1) manly tear here*
I'd hire you in a moment and ask the secretary to give you a blowjob as a welcome gift.
old lonely men are always looking for some fresh new boi pussy they can cream ... maybe you like it as a male prostitute? Can be better than a Wage Slave.
You should have lied ! SHould have said you trade usual commodities and not mention crypto
should have said you traded potatoes
Are these old fucks gay? I don't understand this... Human sexuality makes me become genocidal to the entire human race, it's just fucking DISGUSTING
Awww OP thinks companies don't punish you for being honest. Babbys first job? Everyone look at OP he's like a puppy dog, awwww
Lie about the assets you were trading. Tell them you did well but frequently had to supervise algorithms for 60 to 70 hour stretches at a time. “ muliptle thousands of data points per second” “a very simple, but quickly executed math operation between each point” “ automatically optimize parameters based on a stats model built and analyzed in real time”
“Finding correlations in unrelated streaming data”
“Many dimensional data visualizations “ “quasi autonomous real-time information sharing platform for financial data”(this is how you tell them you’ve been on biz)
Aaaaaand after all this I’ve realized I do t want a technical job at all, as I’ve grown enough through this to k ow working with people is not only more fulfilling, its more productive.
Cope. This comes from a weak place. You need to always come from strength in interview. The only negative they should think is, “too perfect” or “scary confident” or “a threat”
HAHAHAHAAH do you think Mr.shekelstein and his herd of goyim cattle want you taking time off to “enjoy” life when you could be a good little work horse earning money for the chosen people? Delusion, the wagies he hired to be middle management are so brainwashed they think taking time off to enjoy life is laziness and a negative trait because they are such boring faggots they wouldn’t know what to do with free time if they weren’t slaving away.
Anyways to avoid stuff like this OP just lie and say you were working for your friends remodeling company or something flipping houses.
Fuck off. You almost sound proud of being a wagecuck.
If the wagie on the other side of the conversation hears this they will immediately experience a high level of cognitive dissonance. they will be jealous that you could do such a thing, hate themselves for never doing such a thing and the fact they never will do such a thing, and they want you dead and taught a lesson as a result. they will get satisfaction and validation for the fact that they slaved their whole life away without more than a week vacation to some sub par destination a year. this will allow their own fear of death to keep them from quitting their job and going to live their life on their terms, because they know that it's customary to fully shun such people
Ain't America beautiful?
same in euope. never say you're enjoying life. if someone ask, you were working hard on something
Tell them you were backpacking Asia or some shit, genius
