| Jan 25, 2016 at 22:52 | comment | added | user207421 | Your software work constituted software development, and self-employment, and even running a business (even if you didn't get paid), and whether or not you now have the source code is completely irrelevant: don't even mention that. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 19:03 | comment | added | Tim | If you gave proper notice this probably isn't a big deal if the recruiter can get in touch with some of those clients from right before you traveled and verify it was your choice. If they were layoffs or performance related...that's a different issue. | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 18:53 | comment | added | Dawny33 | @Johnny Yeah, I have seen it happen commonly in interviews at startups, and sometimes at bigger companies. Happened to me atleast. :) | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 18:50 | comment | added | Johnny | @Dawny33 - I've never heard of a recruiter or hiring manager asking for "proof" of personal software projects. Does that ever happen? | |
| Jan 25, 2016 at 16:36 | comment | added | Iain Galloway | One aside, lots of companies are justifiably reluctant to employ ex-contractors on a permanent basis because of legitimate concerns about retention. Multiple transitions between self-employment and permanent work on a CV would be a serious red flag for many hiring managers. | |

| Jan 25, 2016 at 11:08 | comment | added | Dawny33 | If I were the recruiter, I would be very skeptical if you say you've taken a gap and did software projects, and didn't even have the source code(proof)! | |
