Sharing personal issues
Other social media users commented on his post. Some of them tried to understand what might have gone wrong.
“Honestly nobody cares about your personal issues. I hope you get something better soonest,” one user commented.
“Never mention family situations in an interview. It's not their business and they could (potentially) use it as an excuse to not hire you...If you do need to mention that's why you weren't working, make it 1000% clear that the situation has now fully resolved and you're "Eager to get back to work!"” one user wrote.
