[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16056177, member: 181885"] It depends on the interviewer. You are not obligated to fully divulge "hardships." You can simply say that after a layoff, unrelated to work performance, you needed to focus on personal/family until you were in a position to re-enter the workforce. What interviewers don't want to hear, and unfortunately hear often, is "I needed a break" or "I wanted to get the full duration of unemployment benefits." In regards to extra money, liquidating is an unfortunate necessity. Many of us have been through it, and it quite frankly sucks. 7 years ago, I had nothing. Less than nothing, technically, because I had a $24k car loan, no job, and a diminishing savings account. I sold everything that I could, which paid for about two month's worth of expenses at the time. Without a full time job, you can only liquidate so much. My advice there is only pick what you can actually make money on. If it takes more effort to sell something than the dollar value you're getting, that time would have been better spent in the job search. If you're truly at the pennies and nickels stage, blood plasma is one option to buy you a little bit of time, but the focus really needs to be on the job search. Recruiters are your friend right now- use anything as a stepping stone. [/QUOTE]
