Hi. Welcome to my crash out. A job seeker had a verbal offer withdrawn because a CEO, who she didn't interview with, saw a 10-month employment gap on her resume and decided that disqualified her for the role. Keep in mind: this woman had been doing freelance and contract work during the gap. So, bye-bye offer. The question this raises isn't about her qualifications. It's about what we've decided employment gaps mean – and who benefits from that story.
