I have gone a 9 month stretch between jobs (laid off, couldn't find work), but it doesn't look like it's a gap on my resume. I took a bit of freelance work during the time which I have sold as being way more than it was. Sure, it was only a few weeks worth of work for two different clients. All they need to know is "Managed multiple short-term projects independently, meeting deadlines and maintaining client satisfaction."
My longest gap is a couple months and nobody has ever even asked about it. I honestly think nowadays its more normal to have a gap because the job market is really tough and competitive. Having a gap on my resume has never held me back.
