    I have been out of work for 7 months and worry about the gap. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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