Why cannot vent and share my story in forum ? Isn't everyone also do that ? Everyone is Anonymous so cannot vent ah ?

Who are you to say anyone wants to vent and share has to think what is the point of doing so ? What is there to think about ?

Simple post of ranting some ppl can think even more than me. LOL !

If you continue your blame every one but yourself mentality, you will go nowhere. Such attitude deserve very low positions in an org. The advice to you in previous post was to go the extra lengths to find out the purpose why your boss tell you to pass documents to translator. Even if its a simple offic boy task, if you can prove otherwise your "added value" by vetting documents and ensuring translator received your documents, with added confirmation by email, I am sure your boss will be impressed to trust you with bigger things.
At the end of the day, your boss got an intern to check on translator office. Thats a very "lao kui" move on you. Maybe you are not sensitive enough to catch that. But from the way you described, I think you should not stay long in your company, your fate is sealed. Better to start anew eslewhere, and this time, change your work attitude. Esle history repeats itself.

Did a career switch and ended up in a disastrous job with bad office environment. Job scope was not what I envisioned, 1 day deadlines for work and was being micro-managed. Left after several months when I knew the situation is stuck with little prospect for work progress due to office politics. Now jobless for 1 year.

But spent the past 12 months on self-study and reading up on recent technologies like cloud computing, Web development etc. Also, casually offered technical advice to other IT professionals online.

How to best address this employment gap in the resume or cover letter? Add an "Hobbies and Interests" section to highlight how I spent my 1 year? Add a paragraph in cover letter explaining why I spent 1 year thinking through my options?

How old are you now? If you are over 50 like me, there isn't any good options left except to look for lower paying jobs.

For the gap just leave it on your cv, when asked by interviewer just tell the truth
