The explanation doesn't really matter at this point. Recruiters will filter you out at bigger companies, and smaller companies can't afford to take the risk. But sooner or later you'll get some chances, and I'm advising that you optimize for longevity when those chances come. To get out of this hole you need to stay put for at least two years, ideally longer. All the other advice about how to represent yourself is good and will help you find that next role. My advice is for after you get it.
