    I have been out of work for 8 months and worry about the gap. It has been a long 12 weeks. I am not sure how much to explain. Did anyone get past it?

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

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