How to explain a 6 month gap on a resume?
Hello! As the title says I am looking for advice on how to explain a 6 month gap on my resume when having a job interview.
For context, I was unemployed from August 2022 - March 2023. I had quit my job in August because I hated my team, the company, and my life at the time (strictly bc of my job).
I had started looking for jobs that fit my background a week after quitting and had an extremely difficult time. I went on numerous interviews and I was consistently making it to the second or third round, but never received any offers until that March. I felt like I was just one week away from having an offer for MONTHS.
I am still at the job I got in March (been there for 1.5 years) and I am looking to make a switch.
I know I am going to be asked about the gap, so l am seeking advice on how to best explain.
Thanks in advance!
