How to deal with questions on 9 month Bench time..?

[nomadd]

I was out of contract for 11 months. December 2008 to November 2010
I was honest.

No, that's a lie. Nov. 2010?

I am fed up with questions on bench period, not 1-2 months but 9 months bench time..!!

Not sure how to deal with it as both pimps and interviewers are asking same question again & again. I think some pimps are just ignoring my CV because of this bench period, they think I am incompetent..!!

Any one with long bench recently got success in getting an interview..?? Or even got job..? If so how thy handled these questions on bench period...?

Thanks..

A few years back I picked up a long-term, good-paying gig with an intentional 12-month gap on my CV. Didn't try to hide it and it didn't seem to bother most people.

Perhaps they only looked at the date and not the year? Dunno.

Market conditions were different then though.

We 'd agree the approach in principle - and then negotiate the terms

I've been stuck on the bench now for almost a year. I've become that desperate, I've given up on dba positions and now applying for 1st support. The rates for these are just over minimun wage. I'm not even been put forward because I've not done any support work for a while.

I'd be better off working for the council emptying the bins
