    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. Thank you in advance. I am not sure how much to explain. Did anyone get past it?

    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.
