Hi fishes,
I quit my job at Infy 3 months back.With 3 months of notice period,I was confident of getting an offer in this time period.But the thing was I had so much of mental collapse due to personal problems.Could not overcome the stress and depression due to
that.My last working day was on Jan 3rd.Now a gap of more than a month is there.Will it become a problem when I start searching my next job.I am gonna start preparing for interviews from now on.But very much afraid if this gap will become a problem

No no no no multiply it by 100. Don't worry tell them you could not join due to health issues and family problems. They will not even ask you because it is your personal life and everyone respects that. Just prepare nicely and nail the interview. Don't worry and All the best!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜‡

Gap is not an issue. As you are an immediate joiner so i would suggest not to accept the first offer you get, give them 7 or 10days time and trust me in those 7 or 10 days you can get multiple offers then you can make your final decision.

LinkedIn is the fastest way to get interview calls. Update your profile with immidiate joiner and try to apply atleast 10-15 jobs perday.

Do not worry, just prepare well and appear for interviews. You are an immediate joiner so you will definitely get offers. A friend of mine took 6 months off to care for family. He got offers when he decided to join back.

Oh okay....Thanks for the clarification!

Hey, it won't be a problem, just need to manage it well, don't get intimidated with offers on the bowls first.

Secondly, update and regularly apply on Naukri.com, do a certification to add a month duration. Sometimes cracking job is not easy, go on some for Online certification by implying your abilities for your tech stack.
Lastly, no one wants to hire a employee who is not doing anything, so just change the narrative.

All the best,

Hi,
I am looking for Job change. it would be kind of you to refer me for any job openings

I myself had a mental breakdown and took a break for about 6 months.
Travelled across Europe, just relaxed for about 3 months.
Later I got about 100% hike and a big name on the company.
So don't worry about offers or job. Take your time everything can be justified.
