(I normally post under a different name)

I'm at the end of a Masters degree and am now starting to apply to jobs.

Over the last few years I've either been working or studying, and haven't taken a break of more than a couple of weeks. Alongside that, I've had to (successfully) fight off an unpleasant illness. I need to spend several months somewhere quiet where I can live well, clear my head and do some reading.

Ideally though I would like to have a job ready for when I come back. How can I apply to a place and put this across without setting off alarm bells?

Any other related advice would be very welcome.
