Explain a Career Change or Employment Gap

    Help me explain a career change or an employment gap in a way that's honest and confident.

My situation (the change or gap: what happened, dates or duration, and what I did or learned during it):
{{situation}}

Where I need this (resume summary, cover letter line, or a spoken interview answer): {{where}}
The role or direction I'm moving toward (optional): {{target}}

Please:
- Give me a clear, positive framing that's truthful — acknowledge it briefly without over-explaining or apologizing, then pivot to what I bring and why I'm ready for the target role.
- For a career change: emphasize genuine transferable skills and the throughline connecting my past to where I'm going.
- For a gap: address it matter-of-factly (in a line or two), including anything real I did during it, and move on.
- Match the format to where I'll use it (a tight bullet vs. a spoken answer).

Use only my real situation — don't invent activities, reasons, or skills. Frame honestly; don't coach me to hide or misrepresent anything. If key details (like what I did during the gap, or my target) are missing, ask.
