but a cr reason to learn a foreign language growing up is so you can travel for a year or two after college and when you apply for jobs put some fake language program down and say you spent time working to fluency in a language you already spoke at some academy |

But I was born in the 80s... it was tough but not impossible if you dicked around as a youngster. Now I hear 90s kids are getting bitched at for gaps before PREVIOUS jobs they had. It's insane. |

Date: November 13th, 2017 12:00 PM Author: Thriller Cuckoldry Newt I don't think it does. You're on equal footing exp wise with a new grad, but you have the extra year of actual maturity + more life experience - maybe you forgot how to work hard the past year but five seconds explaining the shit you went through abroad erases that fear from employers' minds |

Date: November 13th, 2017 12:02 PM Author: Thriller Cuckoldry Newt It does. I've been in a hiring/firing role. If a resume came across my desk with a gap year I was less likely to trash it and more likely to talk to the person, this was true even of non-entry level jobs bc i wanted a good story and a distraction from my day even if i wasn't going to give them a BUMP for it, it at least made it easier to get through the door (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3795493&forum_id=2#34675502) |

|
Date: November 13th, 2017 12:02 PM Author: Thriller Cuckoldry Newt a recent college grad doesn't either - someone who takes a gap year is a year older than a recent college grad, so they have equivalent everything except the extra year of travel/life exp
nota bene LOLyers are dumbasses who don't think this way, but they're the exception |

Date: November 13th, 2017 2:11 PM Author: mauve half-breed gaps are fine if you have a good, believable story - it's OK if you were traveling and can talk about it - the reason "gaps" are a concern is they want to make sure you aren't just leaving off the past 3 jobs that fired you after a couple months because you're a complete train wreck - also, if you're sitting at home unemployed for 6 months, that is also a sign that you might be worthless (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3795493&forum_id=2#34676708) |

Especially straight out of UG.
