Whenever asked why there's a gap in my resume, I take insult, laugh, and say I didn't feel like working. I am compensated handsomely for my skills and that offers me the opportunity to be away from FTE as I so desire. I also have this and that side project I worked on because I'm obsessed with this coding shit. And then I ask them why is there no break in their resume? What are they afraid of? Are they not good at saving $? Have no desire to see the world outside of work? Never seen the-- you get the point.
