So, I applied to a company, but only listed years in my resume. I was fired from my last job (which I was at for slightly less than 6 months) about 8 months ago.
I organised an overseas trip and I was away for a few months. I haven't done anything related to my career apart from two small projects.
One of their HR people asked me before about the months, which I emailed to them. I didn't hear back from then, but two months later I learned that my application had been submitted to another position. I then had a phone interview, where I surprisingly wasn't. I then had a phone conversation with HR talking about arranging an on-site interview, where they asked me for dates that I am free and also to send information about the months and any gap greater than 3 months. Apparently, they hadn't been forwarded the months.
- Any advice about what I should say for this gap?
- Should I just send the dates, or should I pre-emptively let them know that I was fired and why? Obviously, I'd prefer to be asked during an interview, rather than over email, but when they run on-site interviews, it's typically about half-a-day. That is a big time commitment, so they may ask over email.
also to send information about the months and any gap greater than 3 months. Apparently, they hadn't been forwarded the months.
this doesn't make sense. If they knew to ask about the time, they clearly were forwarded the months (or at least knew enough to ask).
