JobLog Team starter: How can I explain a career gap clearly in an interview?

Keep the explanation honest, concise, and focused on what is relevant to the role. You can mention skills, responsibilities, or learning from the period if they apply, without sharing private details you do not want to discuss. Practise a short answer and then bring the conversation back to the skills you can offer now. You do not need to disclose sensitive family, health, or financial details to explain your readiness for work. What advice would help someone answer this question with confidence?
