I can definitely understand not wanting to hire someone who was violent. But I can also proudly say that was not my problem, fortunately.

Thank you, that is very interesting and enlightening.

thank you for your advice, Christian.

I suffered from depression, so it was a mental health issue. Unfortunately, there is still a large stigma attached to mental health issues. This is a real worry for me.

From 1999 to 2004 I was unemployed due to health reasons. However, I have recovered and since 2005 have been working as a consultant. Now I have been offered an interview for a more permanent position. What is the best way to handle the issue of my interruption in employment?
