or they travel but put daddy's company down as employer for that period of time

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.

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

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

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

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

if you went to a real school and isn't leaving off the fact that you got fired or was a NEETmo in your parents' basement then it's fine.

Especially straight out of UG.

If you're from say, UC Merced and you do this? Ljl
