How much of a problem is my work history going to be?

I guess I was under the assumption that lapses in your employment history, and periods of self employment, were things that had to be explained and defended. I didn't know how much trouble it was going to give me.

 

Thanks for kind words, Mudguppy. Talked to some recruiters today, and filled out their apps. I guess push is coming to shove.

At least over the phone no one seemed concerned about those couple years of unemployment. I've read to many stories on here about folks getting sent home for really dumb things. I have to remember to take those stories with a grain of salt, as I'm only reading the piss-and-moan half of the story.

 

LOL. Be careful of what you wish for... My wife went back to school, finally got her master's degree, and promptly left me.

Meh. Who knows, I 'prolly deserved it.

 

Hey, no worries. She and I are still each other's biggest supporters. We just can't live together.

On another, more relevant note. I've been accepted to Henderson and Swift.
I head out to Henderson's facilities in Caseyville, Illinois on or around Sept 7.

Turns out my worries about my employment history wernt nuthin' to worry 'bout.
