The cultural context is probably very important. In other countries, the question about unemployment of 3-4 months might not even be raised. | |
| Oct 7, 2017 at 20:07 | comment | added | Aman Grover | Actually companies in India tend to ask such questions, "why is there a gap of 4 months on your resume? so you are not working for the past 4 months, how will you cope with the work now , since you have been out of touch?". | |
| Oct 7, 2017 at 20:06 | comment | added | NoBackingDown | @SmallChess Why should it be a good idea to say you were fired from a job when in fact you left voluntarily? | |
| Oct 7, 2017 at 20:04 | comment | added | NoBackingDown | I don't really understand why there should be anything to justify. 3-4 months isn't much time, and under the premise that it was used for self-education, I would consider that as a big plus. Just be frank about it. | |

| Oct 7, 2017 at 11:31 | comment | added | Aman Grover | That's the advice I am asking here, what would be a good explanation for this question ? Should I just tell the plain truth? P.s. I am also working as a freelancer , so maybe I can say I was never out of touch and didn't work to concentrate to improve my skills ? | |
| Oct 7, 2017 at 11:27 | comment | added | Aman Grover | The job wasn't good , wasn't paying well, intact wasn't paying at all and with the limited skill sets I have it was really difficult to find a decent job. So I thought I should not make the same mistake of choosing a mediocre company again. | |
