    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. 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.

    I was hired after a 11-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
