I worked as an HR in Operations & Payroll for 1 year in "A" company, then I got a better opportunity in "B" with improved work roles. Subsequently, I left the "B" company after 1 year, citing my intention to pursue a Master's. I had prepared well for an MBA, secured a seat, but the course fee was 16L. Due to my sister's marriage arrangements, I postponed my MBA plans.
Afterward, I began job hunting. One company extended an offer but later retracted it, explaining that the CEO had engaged in fraudulent activities, leading to his dismissal. They mentioned that the results, including my offer status, were pending his input. However, it was never explicitly communicated that I was not selected. Meanwhile, the HR advised me to seek opportunities elsewhere until the matter was resolved.
Following a gap of 1 year and 3 months, I landed an HR job in Operations and Payroll at my former "B" company, with an attractive salary package. Now, when attending interviews at other companies, should I provide a detailed account of what occurred as described, or should I offer a different explanation? Kindly suggest the best course of action if an alternative reason is advisable.
