One shouldn't lie on a resume, but omissions and partial truths are fair game. Consider listing years instead of month and year. That can make some gaps disappear. If they ask you clarifying questions about it later, that means you passed the resume screening. Consider leaving out dates and listing duration instead: ex: worked at X for 1 yr, 6 mo; worked at Y for 4 yr; etc. Gaps don't need to be reported in that format.
