How to explain short stint on resume
Joined a small acquisitions shop a few months ago that was talking up their strategy of buying deals in the current environment. My old firm wasn’t buying anything and potentially cutting people so I made the jump.
Fast forward to now, new shop hasn’t bought anything and boss said they probably aren’t going to buy anything while rates keep running. Last week, my boss casually asked if I would be cool with taking November and December unpaid “to do some traveling and enjoy the holidays” and resuming to hunt deals in January. Wtf??? I can’t afford vacation if I’m not getting paid, dude.
How do I spin this story as I start looking? Im not technically unemployed but im going to stop being paid?? I hear job market sucks even worse than de market and I need to eat/pay rent.
I have a solid deal sheet, but they’re all from prior job. That firm hasn’t bought anything and my old peer was fired recently. Was this current experience better than staying out and getting fired? I’m not holding my breath that new shop will actually do anything come January.
How would you explain current job in interviews, or even before that - how to explain current job on resume to get the interview?
