[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 537230, member: 59"] Agree completely with Keista. my difficult child was in the same position although she only graduated high school. She tried college, got suspended for drug use, went to rehab for three months, started community college, relapsed, flunked out, went to sober house and relapsed again. She has had several jobs in between and did not tell about rehab. With the economy as it is it is not unusual to have big gaps. He should build up his resume by highlighting the good parts. If asked about gap he can say he hasnt been able to find a job in his field,and has been doing odd jobs until economy gets better. We found that with difficult child applying for entry level jobs they don't even ask about gap. In our day gaps in working were a much bigger deal than they are today. Nancy [/QUOTE]
