Comment Gaps in resume, and other topics (Score 1) 187

What's the polite and professional way to handle these topics, to be prepared when they come up?

Interviewer: "Have you taken any contract or temp positions during your employment gaps?"
How does one answer "If I did they'd be on my resume, but most recruiters are fly-by-nighters with no real positions to offer."

When I get the "Any questions for us?" I want to respond: "Give me reason you wouldn't hire me."
What's a good way to pitch that to say "Even though I'm currently unemployed, and I've had to learn new industry specific software packages at every job I had, what are your concerns I am incapable of learning new packages again?"
