A difficult interview question

I left a position in the civil servant in September, I was there for just over a year. The job was not very challenging. I then worked for a charity for a month but it was just data entry. I am now working at a prison and I am not enjoying it as I am scared and it is a shift work. I now have an interview, What can I say when I am asked about my recent career history?

    That you don't commit to anything for long?

    Or you could blame immigrants again?
  • That you want to find something nearer home? And this sounds to good an opportunity to pass up right now. If you can offer yourself to do a trial as you want to sure on both sides this is the correct position.

    Life to short to be unhappy for a sustained period or be in a situation you know to all intense purposes can't work out. I used to be staggered at just how many jobs would come back up weeks/months later because nothing is dead certain either in this world!

    But isn't it wonderful to know that our prison service is an equal opportunities employer? They employ polish workers, presumably for the many floors they have in prisons.
