Be prepared to be absolutely grilled in interviews for the gap. If you can get any interviews of course.
Also still not cheap. Sunk cost fallacy is a thing, if you are in two minds. I learnt that there are a myriad of other industries that actually want people and I could channel my talents elsewhere.
Hi, sorry to hear that, it must have been frustrating for you.
Have you got any interviews/managed to get a job once you got back into it?
Is it a problem if someone leaves aviation, that is a very expensive activity for the majority of people, keeps carrying on with their lives, to then come back when more favorable circumstances present?
Why would it look "suspicious" to a recruiter? lack of determination? weakness?
