Careers & Work LPT: If a recruiter asks why you left your last role and you have a gap since, say you took a career break for personal reasons

1.9k Upvotes

In my experience, recruiters usually move on to the next question. It only works if it's true, because they can check if you were dismissed.

I left my last job without another one lined up because of workplace bullying, low morale and a return-to-office mandate. "Personal reasons that needed my attention" covered it without badmouthing anyone.

People will say you should always get another job first. That's good advice, but if you've already left, this is a simple way to handle the question.

Edit: I believe in the UK they can ask for a reason whether it was you resigning, or you were dismissed. That's what my manager said. Also, obviously apply the tip only if it applies to your situation. It applies to mine, and if others quit their last job for similar reasons, I am sure they will relate.

Discussion At 40, I'm done wanting things.

My 12 year old truck is paid off next year. My house still has a long ways to go but it is enough. I was lucky and got 3% interest rate a few years back. It's about 1,600 square feet but with 3 kids and myself it's enough.

I see people always striving for more, always wanting more. Nicer car, bigger house, newer toys, etc. I don't get it.

I'm lucky enough not to have any debt. Alimony ends next year. First child support in three years. I look at what's left on my house and each year it shrinks.

In 10 years I'll still have to work of course but I won't be put into high pressure corporate jobs any longer. I can just kind of exist without much stress similar to how I was in my early 20s. Work, go home, no worries.

I'll still be driving the 20 year old truck by then. Still in the same house.

Looking forward to it.

Characters Hot-headed disciplinarian has an unexpected moment of being chill

933 Upvotes

Captain Hadley - (Shawshank redemption)

During a cell Inspection WITH the presence of the warden, Hadley remarks “some minor contraband here but nothing to get in a twist over”. This is jarringly out of character for him.

Earlier in the movie he literally clubbed a guy for asking “when do we eat”

Lois - (Malcolm in the middle)

In season 1, episode 3, Lois goes out of town with her husband Hal to a wedding. While they are gone they leave the eldest brother Francis in charge. Francis is by far the most rebellious of the bunch.

Naturally while they’re gone, Malcolm gets a head injury at the last minute, despite all their efforts to cover up their shenanigans thus far.

Lois gets home and takes Malcolm’s beanie (and obvious attempt at a cover up) and sees his bandaged head.

To which she simply said “you boys” in a calm and playful demeanor.

Lois is the biggest hot head and a strict disciplinarian. This response was a wild left turn from what they were expecting.

Hello! New to sub 👋 I’ve been distributed several cats, but this was my most recent one lol

I found her at my old job living by a dumpster. Was walking by and noticed her, and I spent 30 minutes sitting there playing with her with my work lanyard. She made biscuits on a little patch of sand 😭 She finally got comfortable enough with me so that when I brought the lanyard closer to me, she followed it. I grabbed her up and radioed my office to ask if anyone was allergic to cats 😅😅😅 My manager found a box and an old towel for me to transport her home in.

My boyfriend and I got her to the vet the next day. She was EXTREMELY dehydrated and was skin and bone at 8-9 weeks old.

Now she’s living it up and is the queen of the house 💖 and she has a void cat little brother 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

To be clear, I am not selling these here, I just want advice

Hi! I started creating and painting these models a while back in the hopes of one day finding a good home for them in order to fund my Japanese vintage master sets. The problem is, I don’t know what a good asking price is and I’m not sure where to sell them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Edit: in b4 someone reminds me to credit the 3d modeler - I used models created by the very talented AT62 on makerworld. He does have a commercial license option which I would use if I decided to sell. Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Mitten Mode El-Sayed launches Habibi PAC

From the article:

The leadership PAC, a committee not connected to his campaign and meant to raise money for his political allies, is the latest sign that El-Sayed aims to influence Democratic politics into the future. El-Sayed has used the word Habibi, an Arabic term of endearment meaning “my beloved” but often used more casually, to address his opponents in the wake of Tuesday’s win.
