What’s this gap in your resume? Oh, that’s the two years I was a jeweler. What about this one? That time I managed a retail store. But you’re applying for a manufacturing position sir. Yes, that’s why I only left the relevant bits on the resume, otherwise it would be 7 pages long and you wouldn’t be seeing me now.
Hey can you come over and install smart switches in my house, figure out what 6 light switches that control nothing are connected to, and find out where the 24 cut ethernet cables in my garage go? I’ll pay you in setting up a home server, playing video games with you, or letting you pet my cat.
I would literally be the jack of all trades

Not very practical with a 3 month notice period IRL

Im 51. I’ve done this my entire life. My resume is vast and strange.

Ah ‘rejiggered’. The man knows what he’s talking about about.
