    Hi
    I am signed off (for approx 2 months) with work-related stress. I need to get another job that's less stressful. I have applied for a number of jobs - do I need to tell potential new employer that I am currently signed off with stress?
    Thanks,
    BB

    I dont think you should have to tell your new employer that you have been off with work related stress - unless you are asked specifically that question then I wouldnt mention it!
