What if you have been unemployed for quite some time?

Hi,

There can be situations when you take a sabbatical for something like a month or two. But there can be situations when you have been laid off, or you have been looking for past few months and been unable to find a positions. Recruiters can very well see behind response like “personal reasons” or “I quit due to differences with my manager”.
How can we best cope up with situations like that??
