I had a one year gap in employment. I don't know what your resume looks like but no one will hire you under those circumstances.. unless you had cancer or something.

Its not like I said I was the CEO of a high tech computer manufacturer or something. I just put some shit on there so I wouldn't get crossed off for consideration. It adds nothing other than to fill a gap.

Worked "freelance" as a personal trainer?
Was a "fitness and health consultant"?
I mean whatever your area of expertise is and / or a similar area to what you're applying to.

Hell you could always list "Internet research consultant" as a job and all you really did was sit and browse the web in your PJs looking for work.
