Thank you both for sharing! I was laid off 1 year ago and whenever I get a response from a recruiter or employer, they tell me that it might be an issue that you haven't been working for the last year. Although I've been actively searching, for me it has been tough... on the other hand, it's also been a time for self-reflection and a career break to focus on life after 40. Do you have any suggestions for when employers ask about the last year I haven't been employed?

If the entire process gets “delayed by a month”, don’t you think it’s a deeper problem?
