^But the other candidates already asked those questions was the thing. So I was late to the party and didn't feel like asking the same question over and again.

| My Chipotle interview was a group interview and I don't know, if he'll call me back. I fear I bombed. I mean surely he answered that I bombed right.

I don't have giant gaps. More like I can't keep a job at all. From 2013 to 2014 this is my work history
-First Job Ever 6 months
-Second Job 3 months
-Third Job 1 day
All for various reasons that are really long to talk about. |
