I have been out of work for a year..

Until you are caught.

And by then, you have either earned some money and/or are doing a good job and such matters are redundant.

Either way, you're back working which, I think, is the point of thread.

I've got a seven month gap in my history. I tell peole I took time off to write a play. OK, it was a murder mystery and took me about three weeks, but nobody has questioned it yet...

BTW, anybody want a good Murder Mystery play for an evening's entertainment?

I hope the characters all have suitably cheesy names

What, such as Mr Scrivener of Doem, Downe and Hoppit? Edna Bucket? Victoria Plum? George Strangely-Browne? Now would I do that...

Then again, the policeman was Mr Hugh Dunnet.

Doesn't that get queried at interviews, putting years instead of month/year?

Only by HR goons. Explain that some of your contracts were concurrent, and involved multiple stints spanning a number of years - if they're big names I doubt they'd query it. You could also explain the difference between a contractor and a permie, and that if they're looking for a contractor that sort of thing goes with the territory.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
