How do I handle a long gap on my résumé? after 17 years as a production planner

I have been out of work for 13 months and worry about the gap. I worked as a production planner before this. I am nervous about being filtered out. How did you handle it on your résumé?

I was hired after a 13-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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