Anyone knows wads the model answer to why did u leave without a job n what were you doing with your gap?
The gap is 6 months nw.
Safe acceptable answer would be, you used the gap time to:
(1) learn the skills that are applicable in the job you're applying to.
(2) some urgent family / personal matter (one that's unlikely to be re-occuring, of course).
(3) help a friend with business venture that didn't quite work out (you can still chalk it up to valuable experience for the job you're applying to)

Don't dwell on this gap with long answer. Move on quickly to talk about your relevant experience and what you can contribute to the new job.
