If you have employment gaps on your resume, this is your opportunity to offer context to those periods of your life. Whether you decided to re-prioritize the demands on your personal life, continue your formal or informal education, address the health concerns of yourself or your family, or become a stay-at-home parent while your significant other pursued their career, be honest. Entrusting your interviewer with this personal information while framing it in a professional context can go a long way.

"I had a gap from 2009 to 2010 while I was on maternity leave and then another for six months in 2015 while I cared for an ailing parent. During that time, I was vigilant in keeping up to date on the market."

If there are any gaps it was due to preparation for the military and spending quality time with my family or education.
