During the interview process, simply say "I decided to relocate and was fortunate enough to be able to focus on that process. I'm now back on the job market,." People tend to over explain. If the Recruiter you are speaking with wants to know more, they will ask. Otherwise, don't make it an issue, because it's not. ;-)

This is a good question I’ll be watching out for answers.

Absolutely! No reason to hide it. List the gap on your resume as something like "family sabbatical, relocation". We don't need any more details than that on the resume.

Would you go into more detail on a phone screen when the question is brought up?

Appreciate the positivity

What is it you are looking for ? It doesn’t matter about your personal life as long as you keep moving ahead in my opinion so let them know you want to move ahead and that is something you are looking forward to a better experience and better life that suits you and your future.


If you are open to opportunity what’s your contact info ?

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back. HM said we are good to go for interview and sent an invite. On the day of interview nobody turned up, neither they gave an update later. She did follow up for a couple of days but no response. Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
