Alright, here's the deal:
I have had probably 6-7 jobs this past year. I never got fired, but I quit each and every one of them for various reasons (probably having a lot to do with my illness). I am doing somewhat better now, where I think I could hold down a job for more than 3 months. Problem is that all interviewers ask the basic questions like how long did you work there, why did you leave, etc. What am I supposed to say? I was having a mental breakdown so I quit? No, I can't say that. I know the reason I have been turned down for the most recent jobs I applied for is because the employers thought I would quit (apparently past behaviour says a lot about a person's future behaviour :) ). So, what do I tell these people? How can I explain that I was ill then, but am better now, and that I am not planning a relapse in the near future? ANY advice is helpful.
