7-month résumé gap, advice?

    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. Any experience at all would help. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

    A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.

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