I'm 28 and even though I've been doing school (I have merely a business certificate) and volunteer experiences, I still have no prior history of actual employment due to some wrong choices on my part or outside factors maybe. I see that those by my age already have some experience by now and a few even live outside of their parent's place.

Am I the only 28 years old dude with no previous employment experience?

You're not the only one!

Quite frankly almost all jobs made my worthless corpse redundant

Thus I left them off resume and job application

So large gaps in work history

Sometimes interviewers ask why. :evil: caregiving :heart: . Sometimes that's fine with them :mrgreen:

Or I could tell them that I was in jail

Might be better to claim no work history

Although I do still hope to change it.

How are you dealing with that?

Nope, I'm 31 and I have no work experience. I doubt I'll ever really work or have full independence, though.
