No one’s perfect
Look, we all have shortcomings. Some of us have a gap in our resume that is tough to explain, others have more dramatic issues like a reputation issue.
The industry is really small, and instead of shying away from that if you have a challenge to overcome in appealing to a future employer, let’s address it head on. Before assuming you’re out of luck, let’s discuss what you can do to explain.
In the below AMA (Ask Me Anything), we chat with Emily Leach, founder of the Texas Freelance Association. She coined the term “genetically unemployable,” and she’s a freelancing pioneer, but she’s keenly aware of how you can explain your shortcomings to your next employer. Plus, she’s a hoot – we’re going to have a blast!
