Where's Ya Bin?

Strangest comment of the day came from a Recruitment Consultant who, when asking me about the 2 year gap in my CV covering piecemeal employment & lots of travelling, suggested I write an explanation of how the time had been spent, otherwise prospective employers would assume I'd been in prison.

Prison... Right.

Is that really the default conclusion commonly leapt to by business people these days??

It's a strange world...

I've been told the best thing to put down there is "Freelancing".

And yes, they'll assume you are hiding something. Meanies.
