    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I worked as a data-entry clerk before this. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. Did anyone get past it?

    I was hired after a 8-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
