Someone help me with great excuses for career gaps
Hi everyone, I was working for a startup for about 1.5 years and I was doing quite well. then my mind thought of exploring other industries so I quit my job and started looking for jobs in other industries and landed on one after 3 months of quitting. And that company was not open to learning or engaging anything apart from my JD and I was not happy as I was working only for an hour of the day (basically I was doing nothing). It was frustrating as I was paying 200 for auto everyday for doing nothing so I left that job and started looking for jobs and this next company was supposed to be a game changer in my career but it was toxic I told my manager how I feel about it and he convinced me that I'll be working only with him. But that one day everything crossed the limit. And I left that job in 4 months.
Now, why can't I say this directly in my interviews?? Why do I have to lie about why I switched jobs. I can't say directly "no learning opportunities or no growth or toxic environment in previous companies".
This is so frustrating, I've applied for more than 200 companies in the last 2 months and I've nothing. 🤕
Can someone help me with great excuses for career gaps which I can use for interviews?

Bro 4mo is not big. It is okay. Don't worry and tell them you did not like the work or growth opportunities so you walked away.. and since then you are applying for job.
