How do you convince someone to hire you when you haven't worked in 7 years?

Convince them that you're a perfectionist and that you spent the last 7 years learning things. You can make up stuff, for example I know a guy who got a job lying that he can speak rare african dialects. He is no such thing, but nobody there can tell:).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
