Hi,
The most important thing is to be honest and confident in your explanation.
You can explain your career gap like this:
During that period, you were actively searching for job opportunities but faced challenges in the job market. Instead of giving up, you used the time to improve your skills, stay updated with your field, and prepare yourself for better opportunities. Eventually, you were able to secure a position as a System Administrator, where you gained practical experience.
You can also add that this experience motivated you to pursue higher education (MS in Information Systems) to strengthen your knowledge and improve your career prospects.
Visa officers understand that career gaps can happen — what matters is how you used that time and how it connects to your future goals.
Stay honest, keep your answer clear and positive, and you should be fine.
