In reply to explaining a long period of unemployment, posted by helpme on July 9, 2006, at 20:21:21
Hi helpme,
I resigned a job because I was under stress and going into a major depression. Even though I gave two weeks notice, I came in the next day to find all my stuff packed in a box and I was escorted out.
I spent nine months dragging myself out of bed to send resumes. I finally registered with a temp agency. They accepted my explanation that I left my job because I needed to take time off for personal reasons. I said the situation should not occur again.
I'm trying hard to get out of my current job (it's the temp job- it became permanent) before I snap and just quit with nothing lined up. Two headhunters have accepted my reason for leaving the job before this. They also accept that I'm looking for more responsibility and advancement as to why I need to leave my current job. Which I need to go before I have another breakdown.
Good luck. Don't let them defeat you.
