    I have been out of work for 4 months and worry about the gap. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am not sure how much to explain. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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

    I was hired after a 4-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
