OT - Explaining periods of unemployment on an application

[Tim Bogart]

This is the advice I seem to be most comfortable with, even though it may not be 
the most productive.  I'm treating it like an application for a security 
clearance.  I have experience with a gentleman who on an application for a 
security clearance described some unsavory activities that involved some farm 
animals (no, I'm not going to go into specifics, but you can probably use your 
imagination and come up with a scenerio that will encompass the activitity, even 
though it may make you whince) and wound up GETTING THE CLEARANCE!  In such 
situations, HONESTY is the most important factor.

Whodathunkit?

Good luck with this, Tim.

I would advise not "stretching the truth" on the application. If anything on 
your application is found to be false later on, it could be grounds for 
dismissal regardless of the significance of the falsehood.
