Job interviews - they ask why is there a four day gap back in 2003 between jobs ? You dont remember - what do you say?

Only four days between jobs? Run from that company, as fast as you can within the parameters of common courtesy during the interview!!! I would say that I took a few days to analyze my options...one does not leave a job (for whatever reason) one day and start another job the next! Hugs!

G'day Free Spirit,

Thank you for your question.

I would say I wanted some time off before I started my new job. Four days isn't much of a gap.

Regards

You are so right -- I just play it off and say I went to visit my faimly before getting started

"I was fired for no justifiable reason and was lucky enough to have gotten a new job in four days, when that COULD have taken four MONTHS!"

Not sure.

Four DAY? Six years ago? THAT is scrutinizing. In this age of downsizing it is common for people to have gaps in employment lasting months or even over a year.

Perhaps it was somehow a timing thing involving the notice you agreed to give before leaving one job and the availability of training or tools for you to start the next.

"If you're THAT picky about my time off, then maybe I don't need to work here you anal retentive jerk!"

Just kidding. I'd say something like "Just in between jobs" should cover it.
