Like college?

get inventive with start & end dates of jobs before and after the whitespace. in my experience if a company is going to check your references they very rarely cross check start & end dates of employment. so if you spent a year in the k-hole make your previous job last 6 months longer and your current one start 6 months earlier. if you do the sums, my cv says i have 35 years experience

the k-hole is the place you end up when you take ketamine = horse tranquiliser.

"Ketamine produces a dissociative state in a user. Effects can range from rapture to paranoia to boredom. The user feels its hallucinogenic effects and experiences impaired perception. Ketamine commonly elicits an out-of-body or near-death experience; it can render the user comatose."

thats as good an excuse as any for being out of the workforce for an extended period.

I said i'd travelled extensively when i finished college. It seemed to wash.

During the same interview i made the mistake of saying that i'd also donw 7 or 8 interviews but had either done so in vain or simply not heard back. I was then asked with a sarky laugh 'well if no one else wants you why would we?...haha!'. haha indeed you fag. I was totally thrown by this. Didnt get the job.

I recommend you say you travelled for as long as is required and claim you've had interviews but you've felt the jobs havent been suitable.

How about saying you are younger than you are? Just knock a couple of years off your life, flush them down the jacks. No-one need ever know and it will make you feel better too. You could have a grey beard to your belly, a walking stick in one hand, a colostomy bag in the other and still say you are 22.
