I&#x27;d rather see continuity with an explanation than unexplained gaps. If you feel it deserves an explanation before you talk to someone you could include a note in a cover letter indicating you&#x27;ve highlighted the parts of your experience you feel are most relevant, but honestly most cover letters are read second or not at all. People will read the experience you put on the resume. If what you include is a match, you&#x27;ll get the chance to explain the rest by phone or in person. Good luck!
