I left my job in Oct 2013. Since then I have got my driving license, volunteered to teach Arabic in China, and read books. How can I fill my CV's gap?

You can fill the gap in your resume by mentioning those acts that you have made

Gap or not Gap, recruiters should update their skills, we are living in2014 going to2015, lifestyle changes, and work environment changes,  I had same situation and proudly mentioned in my heading of Linkedin profile.   When I was in Canada for one year and when was out of job4 months, had a chance to write a fiction book story and completely concentrate on my part job running my website

Now if we keep thinking of hiring team how they will see our resume, we will not do anything cool in our life.   That's what happen to you and mention in your resume, from this date to this date, Teaching Arabic in China,  and include reading too.   

 

Life is too short to worry of such things.   Have a great day and Wish you all the best .

Where should I put these details in a professional resume? What is the best method to include all these details?  If I put them in the "professional experience section", they can not be put there. If I put them at the last part of my resume, I am afraid that "recruiters" generally will read the beginning and just stop there as soon as they see the gap.

Nothing to worry and to shy off. Put all that you did because that' what you experienced and learnt.
