Fair enough, I’ll find some way to say if in my own words, then.

You could also just lie.

I haven't had a recent gap in ages and haven't been asked in a while but when it came up I would just say I was either a freelance property manager or a semi pro gamer trying to make it at the time. Non are complete lies and it could even make you seem more interesting.

Heck you could totally fill in the resume gap with freelance whatever so there isn't a gap. Freelance photographer could work too, or freelance 'insert your hobby here' to make it easier to lie about it.
