"If they don't like it, you probably don't want to work there anyway." That's always important to remember.

"If they don't like it, you probably don't want to work there anyway."
That's always important to remember.
- ken 7y agoWhat does it mean, though? Is it just "sour grapes is a powerful force"? I don't know about gaps in particular but there are lots of places I thought I'd love working that wouldn't take me.
- kabdib 7y agoNot complicated. It means, "you probably wouldn't want to work there." Interviewing is a two-way street. If your potential employer is intensely interested in your leisure time then that's an interesting signal, because it's unusual (I've never had a single follow-up question to why I took nearly a year off) and could point to a bad culture (lots of possibilities here, including the company being a modern sweatshop or doing very close monitoring and metricization).
