How do I handle a long gap on my résumé?, electrician's helper here

I have been out of work for 3 months and worry about the gap. It has been a long 6 weeks. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. What do you say in interviews?

I was hired after a 3-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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