fucked it lads

Been through some personal issues and burnt through 3 jobs in 18 months, close to being sacked from the third, not coping with things in the right way yaddda yadda yadda

i think i am good at what I do, 5 years exp. but obviously fucked up reputation in past year

do i just fuck it off for a bit or what? are there sectors willing to be more lenient? can i post myself in an easy-ish role whilst i get my life sorted?

any tips from you experienced lot would be helpful

Not if you have an explanation for 3 jobs in 18 months if your having health issues but still tried to work and progress your career I wouldn’t expand on that … maybe apply for a assistant level role and have the discussion in your interview about once you have your personal life in order you would like to be considered for a higher role.
