3-month résumé gap, advice? - 26 weeks in

I have been out of work for 3 months and worry about the gap. It has been weighing on me all week. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

I was hired after a 3-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

Keep your skills fresh and mention anything recent. It shows momentum.
