Hi all,
I am working on my GMAT& I currently have no job - for essays such as this year's Oxford prompt - why did you choose your current position, how do you explain not having a job, and why you left - not voluntarily - your last position that you only had for a few months. Thanks - expert advice welcome -

Wow...so I had some trouble understanding your question completely.

So are you implying that you got fired? What sort of advice would you expect? Don't get this wrong but you should be able to describe and explain your current situation, shouldn't you? There's certainly potential to make some things look/sound better but I think it's the best strategy to be honest.

But still...I'm not quite sure what exactly your situation is, maybe you could add more detail? Since when have you been without a job? Why are you unemployed? What job did you have before?
