A friend of mine finally had his record cleared of incidents from when he was 19-20. He took courses to learn to program but even now it's still hard for him to get a job because people want to know about the huge gap in his employment history from when nobody would hire him.

Your friend just needs to say he was doing consultant work for himself during these periods.

And he can, honestly, say that he sucks at getting clients for his consulting, but that he is good at coding.

"I can't discuss who my other clients are with you, but I'd be happy to talk to you about the challenges I faced."

Proceed to bullshit.
