<div><br></div><div>I am filling out an application for a major corporation and on it they wish me to provide dates of unemployment for the last seven years.  That I get.  The part I don&#39;t get is that they wish me to provide an explanation for those periods.  Explain what?  Why I was unemployed?  I got laid off, or the contract expired or I got fired from the previous position.  Or, why I was unemployed or why I couldn&#39;t find work?  I dunno.  Am I to explain why a company didn&#39;t want to interview me, or hire me, or didn&#39;t get presented with my resume?  This one just dumbfounds me.  To me, this is just a stupid
 way to word something.  Oh, and by the way... nobody answers the help line.  Nice...</div><div><br></div><div>Any thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Tim B.</div><div></div>
