Just a quick question regarding job interviews and references. Earlier this year I was off for around 8 weeks including my staggered return due to numerous illness which all stemmed from a very servere case of peritontis, I unfortunately also suffered blood poisoning etc so was poorly and off work for quite a long time. I am currently looking for a new job and wondered if my work was to ask how many absenses I'd had in the last year, if this would count as just one? As although I was off for a long time it was only a bout of sickness as I was off the whole time with no going back and getting signed off again. Obviously if I was to be questioned I wouldn't lie and would explain, but if they were to see on paper I have only worked 3/4 of the this year it doesn't look great! Thanks in advance
