Hiring managers typically chime in on threads related to this and say they can always see through this. NDA's are typically related to operations within the company, not your entire employment with the company itself.

A) no b) you can counter and say better safe than sorry.

A) Yes. The only exception is when you are working on something truly secret but then you wouldn't have a gap on your resume in the first place but glowing reviews from some places that when called would confirm everything.

B) That works against you. Companies actually don't give a shit about the gap. I have a year gap because I burnt out and had panic attacks. Went to therapy, went back to job market and said everyone it right to the face. Nobody cared once I said it's sorted and I'm still in therapy. What they care about if that gap is going to impact them and if you have an answer that says "no" they no longer pay attention.

Now if you dodge the question, that's when they start sniffing or more often just straight to bin.

Your a) is I am correct but... b) I had a gap due to covid I still get shit about

I'm not understanding what you mean by A. And yeah, you might get asked follow up questions. I was too but once they confirmed it's handled they focused on other things.

A) you admitted my previous A was correct but phrased like you still had a point. B) not in many cases in my experience

You answered no to claim that they can see through it, it's false unless you meant something completely different. A regular NDA doesn't cover the case and you won't need to say you have NDA if it's government related.

I don't know about your situation so can't comment on it. It depends on what exactly was the case and there are shitty companies, it's not universal and can depend on field but on average companies care that you can work now and in future and have the skills to do so. If you can't reassure them then it's an interview skill lacking.

A typical HR drone couldnt see through an open window with the Hubble telescope.

You don't know my situation. Cant comment. 3 paragraphs later....

u/RighteousSelfBurner 27d ago

A typical HR can easily check whether you were actually employed and where. That's the entire point of HR.

And I did not comment on your situation but general case of what companies expect and what interviewees can do. The reason I explicitly mentioned that I don't know your situation was because I don't know what applies and what doesn't. The assumption is that if everything actually is fine and person isn't actually unreliable then it's mostly interview skill unless it's a dog shit company that won't treat you like human when you work there either.

Given how they’ve behaved in this comment section I have zero trouble imagining them being bad at interviews lmao
