Being made redundant. GP wants to sign me off work. Will that affect future job prospects?

[Rainbowshit]

Blood pressure is the through the roof but worried being off sick will look bad when I try to get another job. Particularly as I had a couple of months off last year.

GP says it won't. Is he right?

It depends

As you had 2 months off last year, it could well be a red flag to prospective employers

But, at the end of the day, your health is more important than any job, so if your GP is recommending you are signed off, I would follow their advice

It might to be honest. Most reference checks now include no of sick days and incidences
