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

I have been out of work for 7 months and worry about the gap. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. Did anyone get past it?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
