[bitheerani319]

You've probably heard that unemployment figures have dropped considerably in recent months. This is great news! But we mustn't forget that there are still 16.55% of unemployed people in Spain. If you're one of them and you've received a call for a job interview, you may be a bit nervous and not rcs data laos sure how to justify the situation you're in right now. Should you blame the crisis for being unemployed? Should I give details of my previous job? Can I speak badly of my former employers? Take a breath! You've come to the right place: in this post we'll give you the keys to dealing with the temporary moment you're going through with frankness and sincerity.

Be honest. When we have been unemployed for a long time, sometimes we are embarrassed to face the subject directly and we make up any story to justify those months of inactivity. As we always tell you at Adeccorientaempleo, the most important thing is that you are honest and do not lie to the interlocutor. You already know that they are professionals used to detecting lies, but they can also make a call and discover that what you say is not true.

Don't pass the buck. It makes no sense that, when the interviewer asks you about your months of inactivity, you approach the answer by looking for external culprits, such as the economic crisis or the politicians of the day. Everyone is aware that, in recent years, unemployment has skyrocketed and has affected many Spaniards, so it is better to avoid talking about these issues and focus on what is truly important: giving a sincere, concise and convincing answer.
