Trending @Accenture; Laid off in bench period — seeking advice on how to present it to recruiters

Laid off from Accenture recently after being on bench for 3 months. Took a 15-day break to clear my head and get back on track. Now that I’m starting to apply, I’m confused — should I be upfront about the layoff when recruiters ask, or is it better to frame it differently?

Anyone here who’s been through something similar and managed to bounce back with a better offer? Would really appreciate your thoughts and experiences — need some practical advice and a bit of hope right now.

Thanks in advance, folks!

My suggestion would be don't tell about laid off. Give some medical reason.

Btw when you laid off have they given 3 months full salary??

Ok then don't loose confidence. Mention that you are immediate joiner. You will get more call
