Why have you been unemployed for so long?
Always focus on what you have achieved during this time:

• "I've been studying"
• "I've been travelling"
• "I've been working casually or part-time".
• "I've been concentrating on finding a position similar to this"

Finish the question with why you are suited and will be committed to the position you've applied for.
