    I have been out of work for 8 months and worry about the gap. It has been a long 9 weeks. I am nervous about being filtered out. What do you say in interviews?

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

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