    I have been out of work for 8 months and worry about the gap. I am in Charlotte, in case local advice matters. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

    I was hired after a 8-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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