It depends on why you left your last job. A good excuse is something like "I arranged to leave for another company, but their budget was slashed and they reneged on hiring me after I had left my last job. While looking for a job I started getting into crypto currency. But I was getting severe stomach pain which was going to interfere with my ability to work. Now that I've gotten those issues out of the way I'm looking to get back to work." The helping a family member trick works too.

>>10015143
Bad idea. They like the financial leverage an employer has over the employee. It's the same reason they don't hire "overqualified" people. They'll skip out on the job on a whim as opposed to a good wageslave who would be homeless if he got fired.

all about how you spin it. they may think both of those things but you have to frame it like you left because of other complications, not because it failed.
a good angle is tell them it was successful and you learned a lot but it simply didn't pull in enough and you didn't have enough capital to wait a few more years to see if it would continue growth. this is great because it singals 1) you started and had a profitable business, albeit not wildly profitable and 2) you're desperate for money which employers love to hear
literally all of this is spin, framing, etc.
