I don't mention my MENTAL health, that would be stupid. When managers have asked me "Why were you out of work for so long?" I usually say "I was in the midst of some serious health difficulties that, at the time, needed intensive treatment and extra care, which kept me out of work for a while. However, I want to stress that I am now fully recovered from my health troubles and they should not present a problem with my abilities to perform my job." Still, nothing.

>>Just mention you study very fast and new things are challenging and you basically love to work, despite the fact that your resume might not look so well.

Do that.

>>look as healthy, confident, friendly, smiling, happy, willing, etc.. as possible

I do that too... as one manager said to me "You have an amazing personality and you're very intelligent, and you'd make an excellent addition to any team. However, your seeming inability to hold a job makes me suspicious, and thus I am going to have to decline your application."

(sighs) I just don't get it.
