for exchange for anything of value?

I'm really sorry to be this harsh, but you are LITERALLY complaining about stacys right now.

You've been developing your art skills

God dammit you people are slimy beyond recognition. Stop giving advice on this.

well you know what

😂

I make well into 6 figures

"People apply for jobs they don't match the requirements of too often, end up on an HR blacklist"

yeah, by lying and saying they did. Saying you have a degree when you don't will get you blacklisted. saying "i know i don't have a degree but still think i fit the bill" will not.

so I'm not going to appologize

Fuck off with that.

I know what it takes to be successful

Okay.

So you lie to become successful. Great.

because I am successful

nope

I can back it up

I couldn't live with what you've done.

I'd be sick with myself.

never lied

How long of gaps are we talking?

also, your soapbox has holes

Years.

You don't lie when you say you haven't done anything

You're fine

And you said I was grandstanding when I stated my experience in employment

skills development, free lancing, personal development, volunteering

How is saying you've spent your time developing your skills as an artist lying?

Have you lied to us?

if you've ever exchanged anything of value for any piece of creative work

Okay suppose they have questions about that.

coongratulations

"Oh yeah I worked on my art"

you free lanced

Now, why is that so much better than a gap in the resume

What did you do to develop your skills?

Because it shows initiative

it means you were trying

😐

Shows ambitiob

That you didn't just sit on your ass
