Hey, there's all kinds of formats to resumes... you don't have to use the traditional "work history" format. It sounds like you've attained some good/great business skills. One way to address it is to talk about how your transferable skills apply to the gig you're going after. Employers like resourceful, self directed types like you seem to be... so make up some stuff to fill in the gaps or anticipated questions.

Keep us posted. :thumbsup:
graymatter Reviewed by graymatter on . HELP WANTED I'm looking for employment... Here's my dilemma: I can't account for the past five years. I've been working and making money... but nothing that I can pay taxes for or list on a resume/application (although the skill set required for this particular work would be a perfect fit in a business setting... enough said). I'm not sure how I should/could explain this 5 year gap. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Rating: 5
