No college degree. Massive gap in my resume (years). FUCKING TRANSGENDER. Fucking beginning of my transition, I look awful, I sound awful, and I have no actual reason for someone to hire me. My CIS friends with NO GAPS, STUDYING are getting turned down for retail jobs. Jobs at car washes. WHAT FUCKING HOPE DO I HAVE?? And I’m moving so I have to quit at my current job. I’ll have good references, my previous employers have all loved me, and I technically have a bit of a nicer position for my resume now but still. I’m fucking cooked. And I desperately need a job bc no SO and I need to move out. Parents are going to be unbearable when I have to come out.


Imo the gap shouldn’t be a problem. If anyone asks say you were taking care of your terminally ill grandma. It was cancer, she’s dead now, you don’t want to talk about it. Most likely you won’t get that far.
this but say aunt so that your boss thinks you have all 4 grandparents left and you can use more bereavement days if you get them
