    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

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

    I was hired after a 10-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
