You've been out of work for a long time, haven't you?

I chose to spend time evaluating my options before deciding on my next career move. I have been offered jobs since my last employment but I wanted to wait until I found a job that fulfilled my career goals.

Advice from the recruitment consultant
This can be a very difficult question to answer. Evaluate your situation carefully and consider all the reasons you have been out of work. In this day and age many people take brief career breaks. Do not be afraid to state this in an interview. Highlight any achievements (e.g. travel, personal projects) you made between jobs as these can speak to new abilities you gained between jobs.
