How do you explain what an employer considers an “unstable work history” if you don’t get an interview? One employer gave that as feedback for me getting passed over for a position. I know I was qualified because I worked that job with my last employer.

It would be really hard to explain it if you didn't get an interview OP. It can sometimes can be really hard to explain a gap but I do know that employers tend to not care about it as much because of the way the job market has been in the last couple of years.

Thanks for your feedback!

Submit a cover letter that explains any gaps in employment along with your resume

Thank you! I'll try that. Hopefully it'll make a difference.
