What if I am between jobs in Speaking Part 1?
Say so plainly and add what you are doing this week, because the question is about your present routine rather than your employment status. I finished a contract in July and I'm applying for similar roles is a complete answer, and it invites a follow-up you can prepare in advance.
Say so plainly and add what you are doing this week, because the question is about your present routine rather than your employment status. I finished a contract in July and I'm applying for similar roles is a complete answer, and it invites a follow-up you can prepare in advance. Do not apologise for it: unemployment is a normal topic, and a calm answer reads as fluency rather than as a gap.
Name the last role and what you are doing now, and resist the urge to explain the whole gap. If the examiner asks how long you have been looking, one sentence with a month in it is stronger than a paragraph about the market.
