"But you're not considering how valuable this experience will be!"

So much to evade that gap in the resume

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

What gap?

I've not been unemployed, I've been under a strict NDA for a very private employer. No, I'm not allowed their share their contact information. Sorry.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

No if you know they're gonna have to check, then you've worked for your cousin Randy at his placeofbusiness doing menialchore related to the industry.

You can confirm this by calling Mr Randolphius McGillecuddy, Esq.

Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.

Oh bollocks. How do I cancel the voicemail I left Randolphilus.

Do not let this person split up a bill for your restaurant party, folks

(I'm only joking, but I think you did the math the wrong way, $500x12=$6k)

Edit: yep.I'm an idiot, thanks folks, my poor example will stand as a testament to others, don't shame yourself publicly like this and pay attention in school!

$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully "unpaid" vacation

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

United States

4 weeks of vacation

Lol

If the employee “works” every day of the year they earn -$26000

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

My longest vacation was 3 months.*

* …after I got laid off.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

It's per week.

500 x 4 = 2000/month

2000 x 12 = 24k

By all means i'd love to split restaurant bills with you ;)

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

There are 52 weeks in a year not 48. 500 x 52 = 26000.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

How many weeks are there in a year?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Well I planned for 12 apparently, so I guess I demand a lot of vacation time. I call it the Job Creator schedule.

Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.

I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.
