How do I handle a long gap on my résumé? (Cincinnati)

I have been out of work for 13 months and worry about the gap. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
