Hi,

I written in my resume that my last working day was 31st dec 2023. But i work till 31st oct 2023.

Will it affect my candidature. I did it because i was not getting calls due these gaps and uncertain market.

Please let me know how can i tell her the truth and my situation.

You need to be transparent,I had an 8 month gap.During these 8 months I was studying ai course,(Also had surgery).Most of my employers thought I was working in a different company,since I included it on my resume to fill gaps.
