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

So much to evade that gap in the resume

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 30 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

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!

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.

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

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

United States

4 weeks of vacation

Lol

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

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

My longest vacation was 3 months.*

* …after I got laid off.

[–] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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 ;)

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 6 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

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