        I was a stay-at-home dad while my wife was a high payed lawyer, or I had to care for my elderly mother while she was dying from ass cancer, or I was doing drugs but I’ve been clean for over a year now, or shut up that’s none of your business why are you even asking this shit for a job that requires no education or experience!?..

        “could you tell us about this 10 year gap in your resume?”

        People lie to get higher paying jobs, lie to get a lower one:

        Doesn’t need to be a gap, just make it less than what you were really doing.
