<prompt> Human: I am applying for pre-approval for home loan where I plan to pay 20 down. I graduated college in may of 2014, helped my family move from may to January 2015, then looked for employment from January until when I got this job in June 2015. However, I am being told that I will not be approved for a loan because of that gap in employment from may 2014-june 2015. Is there any way to circumvent this? I am really upset that I would have to wait a year to buy when I have the financial means to do so in the next 6 months.  <response>: Youre not getting a mortgage from any reputable lender with only six months of continuous employment history. Just wait another 6-18 months.
