  1. Amen to that! I have a huge problem these days. I have to explain, whenever I'm applying somewhere, why is there two two year gaps in my resumé. Well, that woud be, because after finishing Bachelors, I was sending out CVs left and right, nobody would hire me, especially since I went for my master's for weekend school, so I could work. No employer was willing to accept me, except for a sweatshop mascarading as charitable employer. Well, boss was an ***** and I ended up at my therapist for months after that. The ***** even filled my position, while I was on sick leave (crazy illegal around here), over him causing a massive panic attack, and when I returned to my job, he fired me. And the worst thing? That entire episode came at the beginnig of my exam period, meaning I had to abandon four semesters of master's degree just before the state exam. And then it was another two years of doors slamming in my face. Of employers marveling, how cheap I'm willing to work, how eager I am to learn! Nobody accepted me in and then, when I finally managed to get to a real job, that did not pay less than minimum wage, I had another panic attack due to my fourth and final boss at that company (I survived three chief accountants)... Now I finally managed to find a job with a company, where I have home office, have a very good boss and truly helpful colleagues. It still took me six years to launch myself into carreer... had to sacrifice my master's to get here too. :( And the worst of all while job hunting? When I had to explain, that I'm autistic. That I have asperger's and I want a full time job to sustain myself... and had to see all those doors close every time. Some people even told me outright, that they won't hire someone on the spectrum (again, crazy illegal around here). unwillingness to give a chance to a graduate and nice piece of discrimination as a side in some cases... They always said, that I didn't have experience, didn't speak X or Y language, didn't know their heavily customized SAP... All the whining of HR and sudden embarrasment, when I blurted out salary requirement 10k CZK (about 400 Euro) a month lower than my peers... And all of this in the economic boom, that preceeded covid in times of record low unemployment and constant whining of companies, that they can't find anyone to fill in the listed jobs, all the while advertizing minimum wage for someone with 5 years of experience, a field specific master's degree and multiple certifications. Sometimes, they'd even drop the degree requirement, but demand the working experience, not realizing, that if you have 5 years, you're not looking for a minimum wage job... you're not looking for a job at all. You are starting a business of your own at that point.
