Confused
Went through SC clearance a few years ago and had to explain all gaps in my working history. I provided a simple "didn't work" for all the periods in question and then my accountant provided a professional reference to confirm I'm legit. No problems, and as far as I can tell this is standard practise.
Where I get confused with this tale is why if the role was too stressful did you not stop working excessively long days, or take a 2 week holiday, or anything other than walking offsite? The client would have terminated your contract resulting in the same outcome with the difference that you are not in breach of contract.Comment

OP - changing the subject a little. This 14-15 hour gig. How did that work then?
Fair play on you. I would refuse this one as well - thats just nuts.
So how did they spin this? Was this 'normal' work i.e. they said they expected this or was it emergency stuff?
(I had an interview once where they said up front they expected 10 hours minimum per day from contractors to get their moneys worth - exact words. End of interview).
Must admit I have worked hours like this and longer but only when things have gone belly up. Normally 7.5/8 hours its out the door for me.
Be interested in how they spun this.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
