Many interviews were left with the leader of the interview half doubtful and I didnt get an offer.
When I go out of industry interviewers didnt grill on why I left and I got offers.
I remember your thread regarding your situation. Are you still looking for a job? In the same industry?

There is one thing you can do if you are looking in the same industry. Try to get recommendations from peers/ex-colleagues etc. Solid and quick offers are very possible if you have someone reliable and with some familiarity with the hiring put in a good word for you.

Been there, done that. Just prove you are all that your contact makes you out to be and more at the interview(s) and they will be more likely to believe you.
