isavedlatin54 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So I need a job, I've been looking for about a month or so to no avail. I have a photography degree and a bunch of customer service and sales experience. My only problem is I have a fairly large gap in my work history due to touring and my disability. If any of my VC peeps could help a brother out that would be awesome. Ive tried temp agencies, online resume websites, walk-ins EVERYTHING. Most employers seem to be scared of that gap and the fact that Im currently not working. I'm located in Austin, TX. Again, any help would not go unappreciated.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 how long is your gap between employment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isavedlatin54 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 how long is your gap between employment? I toured as a photographer and had my own business for 3-4 years. So technically a few months. But to most business that "gap" is 3-4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isavedlatin54 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 you need to put that on your resume as employment, owning a business that had you out on tour for 3-4 years. It's on there. I have zero clue what I'm doing wrong. My buddy who works for a really cool start up has given me a few practice interviews and he said I'm great at interviewing. He'd hire me if the company was looking for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
