    I have been out of work for 6 months and worry about the gap. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

    I listed the volunteering and course under the same dates and kept the explanation to a sentence in the cover letter.

    I was hired after a 6-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
