Your question is Handling Employment Gaps. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Explain why you have not been employed since a specific date.
Please give a concise, factual explanation of the circumstances, how you used the time, and why you are prepared to return to work now. We are assessing your judgment, ownership, professionalism, and ability to discuss sensitive career history directly. A strong answer should be truthful, appropriately brief, and focused on relevant actions, learning, and readiness rather than blame or unnecessary personal detail.
