    I have been out of work for 13 months and worry about the gap. There are 9 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am nervous about being filtered out. 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.
