rmorelan Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 hehehe, since I was out for closer to 10 years I guess I have the same question. I would assume so though What were you up to? I am sure you have a reason for whatever you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Ahh so you working in order to save up for school. A noble pursuit, and totally understandable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reminisce Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 yeah, when you put it that way it sounds much more positive then just doing nothing =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah just call me the spin doctor But really it is hard to find something you did that doesn't have some positive thing to say about it. Spent the time torturing kittens etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I bow to a superior spin doctor See you can put a positive spin on anything! /also doesn't support the torturing of kittens - even in the name of science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Med Guru Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 You always have to be prepared if it does.... it shouldn't be too hard to put a positive spin on the time away, in fact its a great way to distinguish yourself from other applicants in the minds of the interviewer's, especially if you have some stories, accomplishments, etc. that happened during that time that might be interesting.
