• Health Problems –
  Unfortunately, health problems can strike anyone without warning.  If you chose to take time off due to severe health problems, such as cancer, tell the hiring manger and express that you are now fit to return to work.  Show a potential employer that you spent the time not only recuperating but expanding your skill set or knowledge of your chosen industry or career.
  
• Incarceration –
  It is very possible to find a job after you are released from time in a correctional facility.  Again, be very honest about the time you served.  Explain that while you were fulfilling your debt to society you continued your education or gained additional skills in your facility.  Show that you regret whatever mistake caused you to be incarcerated.  Some time in a correctional facility will not ruin your employment history forever.  Express that you would like to start over and look forward to working hard in an entry-level position that fits your skill set.  Most employers are willing to hire and train people who have completed their time in a correctional facility and demonstrate a desire to work hard and get back on track.
• Marriage –
  Occasionally, people take time off for reasons such as marriage.  If you took time off to plan a wedding and get settled into a new phase of your life, you should expect some questions when you return to the workforce.  When asked about this gap in your employment history, focus on the skills you developed during this time and explain any extenuating circumstances that required that you take time off.  For example, if you moved across the country after getting married, you should tell a potential employer about your relocation and how much you look forward to establishing your career in a new place with a new company.
