plentyofragrets's journey

I got laid off from my job on June 5, and the day after, I applied to a new company. I've been interviewing with them, and my resume still lists my previous role as 'present' because I was negotiating my end date, which ultimately didn't go anywhere. I've completed the first round of interviews and am now preparing for the final round. I'm uncertain about whether I should disclose my layoff during the interview process. I've heard mixed opinions on this, with some suggesting that I should be upfront about it when asked. I know that being unemployed can sometimes raise red flags for recruiters and hiring managers, so I'm trying to navigate this situation carefully.
