Yes. (I’m sorry this is about to come across as harsh)

They have hundreds of applicants. It is easier to find reasons to say no than it is to say yes and you handed it to them

That sort of honesty should be reserved for close friends, family, and mentors you *really* trust

Asking advice from a recruiter: I’ve been recently laid off :( This week I took some time to reflect, talk to friends and family. I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses.
