[quote=Anonymous]Leave it off. If asked about it directly and explicitly, obviously tell the truth, but I don't even think I'd put it on in the employment history. I have one of those blips too. I worked for an awful defense contractor for 2 months. Atmosphere was HORRIBLE, sexist, sexy calendars at desks, guys going to strip clubs at lunch, asking me to pick up their dry cleaning downstairs. NO JOKE!. I was asked about the gap once in interviews, and just talked about taking a break between my last full time job and the next one, in general terms (travel overseas, etc, which was all true). No one has asked about it since, and that was 15 years ago, so it looks seamless now. As long as your not doing anything illegal, I'm of the mindset of don't ask, don't tell, whenever possible when interviewing or discussing things with HR. They are not police officers, and you don't have to tell them your past salary, complete job history, etc. It's not a physical.[/quote]
