Hello Sir,
I was relieved from my current company two months ago due to certain family issues. I have now been offered an opportunity to work with a reputed company. However, I am unsure whether I should mention my current status (unemployed for two months) during the interview. If I do reveal this, I am worried about whether the company will still accept me, even though my CV has been shortlisted.
I kindly request your guidance as soon as possible, as I am feeling very confused and afraid of losing this opportunity.
Regards
From India, Kota

In case you do not reveal the factual position or try to mislead when the relieving order from the previous organization is sought by the new employer, the truth will come out. As conscientious HR practitioners, we cannot be party to wrong practices.

Hi, I think you should be honest and tell them the reason for not being employed for 2 months. Agreed that there are a lot of people who do not agree as they may feel it's not a genuine reason. Being honest is better than being sorry.

Two months is not a long period to explain away.
The present-day job scenario is not good, and people take time to get a suitable job. I don't think any company will ask you for an explanation for the last two months. Anyway, the papers from the old company will provide dates of joining and exit. All that needs to be communicated is that you were looking for suitable opportunities and, if necessary, briefly mention any personal problems.

Dear Worried,
Being honest with yourself - and thus answering honestly - whatever the reason or duration of your non-job status helps you in two ways. When you are being honest, you speak with conviction and hold to your presence of mind, which helps you, in turn, to respond to other questions in a better way. Honesty - being upright - is an important trait the employer looks for in a candidate.
Cool down. Honesty is its own best reward.
