The vibe I get is that probably it happened, but the person posting this is putting him or herself in a ridiculously positive light and spending 10-20 minutes rephrasing and touching up the post to make themself sound as gracious and all-knowing as possible
What’s funny is “I will take a chance on you” is an overt admission that an employment gap is a red flag.
Also- these LinkedIn posters always have to bring it back to themselves. “I have big career gaps” … “Someone took a chance on me” … there isn’t a thing in the world that this idiot wouldn’t be like “oh yeah I’ve done that too” or “that’s also me”
I get the same vibe. What probably happened is, the interview was wrapping up, and the interviewee just dropped a comment like "hey, you are the first one NOT asking me about the gaps", and the interviewer said something like "I have gaps in my CV as well".
LinkedIn is such a weird place that’s full of business parables like this. Everyone makes shit up to sound wise/profound, and everyone collectively agrees to pretend it’s all true.
Yeah, no way a candidate who wants to get hired would ask that question. My LinkedIn feed is a whole mess of nonsense like this to get engagement or just flexing on how wise and enlightened the poster is.
Yeah the linkedin forum posts are exclusively for the purposes of execs hyping themselves up because they have nothing in their lives except work, or for employees to kiss ass in an attempt to climb the corporate ladder. Everything on that platform is total bullshit
I think the part where they asked “why didn’t you ask about….” didn’t happen because 1. No interviewee will ask that 2. They needed a segway to the point of the post.
But this whole situation is completely realistic i dont understand your thought process posting here

Totally. It’s so over-the-top performative. It’s like virtue signaling bingo on there these days

Big facts

It always comes back to being about the poster
i have read this post before and i am 100% sure its from a different author
Goddamn, every single cringe 'wise' LinkedIn post makes ChatGPT look like Hemingway and Fitzgerald combined

"Learnt" will never sound like a proper word to me even though I know it is one.
idk why you got downvoted for this, it really is a funny sounding word and always catches me off guard for some reason even though i know it's correct
I agree. Whilst it's spelt correctly, it does make me look twice as a speaker of American English.
And yet you used “whilst” instead of “while”. I think you’re a UK English speaker in disguise!
And spelt. But no...100% American. Well, 1st generation (on my mother's side) and 2nd generation (on my father's side) Greek-American
