    I have been out of work for 11 months and worry about the gap. It has been weighing on me all week. 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.

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