[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here --- I don't have boundary issues. I wouldn't offer this information myself, only if prompted during an interview from an MB. I have people to talk to this about, I don't need to hash my information to a stranger during an interview or to an employer at work.

After reading responses here if someone asks me what brings me back to the area (which I am expecting them to ask) I will tell them I moved back to be closer with my family. If they ask me if I am in a relationship (which families commonly do during interviews) then at this point I am planning on being honest and letting them know that my Fiance passed away and leave it at that. If they don't press then I won't give them any time frames with his death. [/quote]

You say you don't want to lie, but saying you are not in a relationship at this time is also the truth. There really is no need to tell people he died. When you do that you are looking for extra sympathy and compassion, which is fine from friends but really a potential employer shouldn't need to have this for you when trying to decide on hiring you. Let them give this later on after you are hired and when they start to get closer to you, and you to them and feel comfortable telling them this news. If you are asking people if you should tell others about this, that means you are not ready to tell the person. When the time is right in conversation, then it will naturally come out and you will not be hesitant to say anything.

I do agree that this would be a good position for you to go back to, something PT for a few months that would turn into FT. I do also agree with others that it would be better to wait another couple weeks before interviewing if at all possible, but this position wouldn't start for maybe a couple weeks which could give you just a bit more time before jumping in to work again.
