Left job for burnout/mental health. Was unemployed 8 months. Now applying and every employer fixates on the gap. How do I explain it without oversharing?

Honesty risks, silence costs.

How did you reframe employment gaps? What language actually worked?

Asking to see questions in writing changed interviews for me. The good employers didn't blink; the ones who did told me something useful.

Thank you for putting this into words. Quietly bookmarking for my own hard days.
