    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
