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

I have been out of work for 2 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 last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
