Re: Judges say Calif. middle school teacher can't shake porn past, must not return to
I work in a field that is hard to get work in, especially at a living wage, because of its popularity. Many people in my field are forced by circumstances to take a job in another field until they can get back into it. When we see someone with a hole in their resume we assume that they were just working in something outside of the field, or they went back to school or worked at home to raise a child.
If you fill out your job application the way you say you do, I am amazed you would even be hired. Employers are interested in your time line. Leaving out five years' experience because it's not relevant would get you thrown out of my office. That's the reference you don't want me to check...you know, the one where you stole out of other employees' lockers and were fired. Or, perhaps you laid around like a sloth for five years while your wife was supporting the household. Or, perhaps you were in jail. If that omission works for you? Fine. It doesn't work for 99% of employers in the world . . . unless you're driving a cab.
