What’s this gap in your resume? Oh, that’s the two years I was a jeweler. What about this one? That time I managed a retail store. But you’re applying for a manufacturing position sir. Yes, that’s why I only left the relevant bits on the resume, otherwise it would be 7 pages long and you wouldn’t be seeing me now.
Hey can you come over and install smart switches in my house, figure out what 6 light switches that control nothing are connected to, and find out where the 24 cut ethernet cables in my garage go? I’ll pay you in setting up a home server, playing video games with you, or letting you pet my cat.
I would literally be the jack of all trades
I’d happily do something completely different every couple of weeks
Not very practical with a 3 month notice period IRL
… And yeah the whole needing to work to not die thing
Im 51. I’ve done this my entire life. My resume is vast and strange.

I’ve done this but staying roughly in the same field while changing roles. So it looks like I had a career!
You sound like Adam Savage
I’m more or less a professional handyman, it can be done

That’s what I do for my friends. But finding out where wires go sucks.
Ah, anarchism
Lol, I have rejiggered a mess of Ethernet cables in my lifetime for sure
Ah ‘rejiggered’. The man knows what he’s talking about about.
It’s the only way to handle something thats gone squeehawed or, Satan forbid, cattywampus.
Don’t forget to take your medication today.
So the capitalist masters can keep me contained‽
3 month? Wtf?
Pretty standard where I live, for my job
