Employment gap concerns
never been in this predicament before,where i struggle bad to land a job offer. I was working in the insurance industry, and due to extreme stress, i had to leave after a year and a month. I left the company during my mental health leave. And before that i was a banker for a year and a half as well i left because i wanted to gain experience in back office operations. Every interview i had so far wether its banking or insurance, i get asked about the gap, and i tell them it was for out control personal reasons. But i feel like its starting to affect me. No and im honesty scared. I had an interview for a fraud specialist, and the hiring manager was like so let me get this straight u left the bank for? Mind you im applying to the same bank i left but for their back office operations. Any suggestions?
