Advice about Advancing Recruiting/TA Career
Has any professional in talent acquisition experienced having long-term unemployment (1 year) and not having much success with interviews? Unfortunately, I'm experiencing this situation. I was laid-off from a contract role last year and haven't been able to move forward with positions; it seems like a lot of recruiters are looking at the fact that I've been out of the job market for a year.
Any advice would be appreciated. At this point, I'm not too sure what route I should take. Thanks!

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue.
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring. I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best. I'm praying to god, to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance. I’m currently still going through the interview process. Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you
