[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 318858, member: 1963"] Years back I worked for a now-defunct but once famous modem maker. I started out with them supervising entry level technical support people and worked my way up to systems and training support. Came the time when the company wanted to set up an on-line application system, I was made to be the team leader. I couldn't get that darned application to let ME past the screening stage! I couldn't count the number of people I'd interviewd for like positions (and declined or terminated) but I got screened out. What clobbered me? An eight year "gap" in employement during the time husband and I were stationed in Germany. I wasn't unemployed in Germany! I worked in IT for a civilian contractor that serviced local military bases--sort of what they call "desk-side" support. BUT, because there was nothing work-history wise attached to my SSN, I got the whammy. [/QUOTE]
