Hi Guys.
Okay, let me e make a not very long story even shorter. I have Bi-Polar disorder, and have been severely depressed for over two years now. Of course, I made the horribly dumb ass Idea to leave my Network Admin job before I had a new job lined up. Just that with my depression at that time, everything just looked so bleak as it was. I thought I just needed a break, to feel better and I'd quickly find a job.
Well that didn't quite happen. So here I am, 2+ years later, STILL unemployed. But I can't go on like this. I will be looking for work this week. I know this Q will come up sooner than I'd like. "And why haven't you been working for the last 30 months? Where were you?"
Telling a HR person I was suffering from sever depression, is...uhhhh probably NOT the best thing to do when I'm out looking for a new job. So, I'm wondering whats the best white>Grey Lie I can come up with......?? I still have a good deal of my NT/W2k Server admin skills. I"m a 25 year old male, who can type like a mofo. But its been a while of course...and a 30 month gap on my resume will surly earn it the trash bin.
Can anyone help me out? Can ya think of a good 'reason' why someone wouldn't work for such a long time. And should I never tell any prospective HR person I was suffering from a severe depression. Damn man, this ain't gonna be as easy looking for a J O B as it could. But I know that, and that doesn't really discourage me.
Thanks guys.
