I have been having a hard time getting a web development job, and I suspect that it has to do with the gap in my employment history that is to the extent of thirteen years. This gap is due to schizophrenia, anxiety attacks and seizures that I was put on mental disability for. For the first several years I was on mental disability I went undiagnosed and untreated. After being prescribed the proper medications I spent several years more simply stabilizing. After that I went on to college and am in my senior year with a GPA of 4.0 and a lot of valuable skills I would think any employer would love to see in a potential employee. I have been on many interviews, and the work history issue never really comes up, but I think it is affecting my opportunities. Any suggestions on how to deal with the work history gap now that I am ready to charge from the gates and land a job?
Wow... first off, I commend you on battling that disability head on! And your GPA is fantastic.
I think your difficulties may be in the current job market though. I don't think any employer will look at that degree and GPA and not hire you based on the gap in history. If they do address it during an interview, I would consider being honest with them by saying you were on disability, and you got motivated and turned your life completely around. You don't want to lie about it, you want to turn it into your advantage.
Keep trying and good luck!
Ask if there is concern regarding the gap. Then share, if need be, that the gap was a time where you spent time growing and developing personally. Now you are a person returning to the work force. Keep it light.
You may only want to ask just to get a feel if it really is a problem or not. You could be over worried which would be normal.
...indicate that you were taking care of a catastrophic domestic situation that involved you taking care of your family or loved one for that period of time,.
ahhhhh...You were "out of the country"?

Can married couples have two ROTH IRA and file jointly?
My wife and I have a Roth IRA that I opened several years ago before we got married. This Roth IRA is under my name. Being that you can only contribute $5000 this year for one account; we were thinking about opening another Roth IRA under her name and start contributing up to $5000 and have two Roth IRA where we could double our contributions. We have already filled our taxes this year but if we do this now could we still file our taxes next year as married??
Yes you can do that. Your income limit for a married couple filing jointly is $159,000. So as long as you're under this number, you are fine.
The "I" in IRA stands for individual so you're correct in assuming that you can not have joint accounts. Have her start one and you both can contribute the maximum. Make sure to designate a beneficiary on the accounts should you pass away.
Good luck.

I found a heart on the ground that says AU 925, but it looks nothing like gold. What is it?
Silver is usually measured by weight being 92.5% silver and 7.9% other metals.
Does it look like silver?
AU usually means the silver is from Australia.
Usually sterling silver is 925, but don%26#039;t know about AU.v
AU is the symbol for Gold in the Periodic Table. So the heart has some gold in it..
is it from Australia possibly? (AU)
Sterling Silver, most likely.

Legal position with lending stepladders?
Hello this is somewhat random question but I wonder if anyone would know the legal implications of lending a friend some stepladders.
I thought for a long time if someone has an accident on your property whilst using your ladders they could sue you. What about if you loaned them out and they fell off them?
I wasnt sure if it was as simple as falling off and being liable or falling off due to a defective which was not made aware to them at the time of lending.
Any feedback appreciated but not expected in this case hehe :)
The onus is on the Ledee, to ensure it's safe for him to use and is used as intended by the manufacturer and good practice.
Onus is on the Lender, not to lend an unsafe ladder.
For example, say you weigh 10 stone and the ladder is safe and good for you to use. Your lendee (neighbour) may weigh 20 stone. He may wish to use the ladder unsafely or at an unsafe angle. That decison is his, not yours, so you cannot be held responsible for his acts.
Hi
First it would be civil; second the steps should be fit for purpose and in a condition you would use yourself. Any fall etc would need to conclusively prove that the steps were the root cause. Unless they were, you have little to be concerned about.

If the other party fell off due to your own negligence (ie you didn't tighten one of the screws or something) then they would have a case. Not sure if it would win though.

What do you think about the IRS crackdown on offshore bank accounts....?
do you think Americans should be able to "hide" money....
I looked into it back when I had money but, they watched everything very closely. I wasn't hiding money. We were looking a a charter for some insurance company. It wasn't worth the trouble..
Is Belle still hanging out with her Friend? I know that you are having a blast with her. I bet she is a little different in her "home" environment. My hat is off to you for thinking of the trip. A GREAT idea...
Be safe..
Most Americans don't have money to hide but the cheats, etc,etc do, some well know names should start popin up
It is a good thing that they are cracking down on cheats.
Some try some get caught

If two single and mature adults have sex, but they work?
for the same firm... he is 37 and she's 34... would you sack them both?
it's not of your business
Noooo!!!! It really annoys me that some bosses would actually sack people over this. As long as it doesn't cause problems in the workplace & they are still good at their jobs I don't see that it should make a difference.
As you say, they are both single & mature....wish this kind of thing wasn't such a problem :(
what they do outside of work should have no bearing on work - however , when they break up badly in the future, it could cause problems, depending on if they have to actually work with each other - issues of sexual harassment are possible if the jilted one bothers the other one, etc
you know, this is a great insurance question.
no. my grandfather, my father, and i met all of our respective spouses at the same firm.
If I'm their employer, how in the world would I know that they had sex? Unless they did it at work - if so, then yes, I would sack them both.
If there is a company policy, what else would you expect to happen???
IF not, and they are not directly working w/each other, then no.
No why as long as it didn't interfere with the work that they do. Many couples meet at work, and start off with having sex!
only if it was getting in the way of their work...
or if they were doing it at work... i would sack them on the spot if i caught them at it
*snigger*
As long as they keep their personal lives separate from work, it's ok.
NO!!! Whats so wrong about having sex, gods sake!
as long at it is not in work time or on work property it's their own business
