    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I am nervous about being filtered out. How did you handle it on your résumé?

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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