    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. It has been weighing on me all week. I am not sure how much to explain. Did anyone get past it?

    I was hired after a 7-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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