My resume is starting to get too long to fit onto one page, so I want to cut some of the jobs and experiences on there that are irrelevant to my industry. However, if I do that, I'll have an employment gap on my resume which I also heard looks bad. How do you show that you were doing something for a time period on a resume, without using any space?

Employment gap.
Because, at least, with an irrelevant job, you were working. They just want to know that you were working. Whatever the job. They want someone who worked / works. Work is work. So, really, there's actually no such thing as an "irrelevant" job. If it's a job, it's not "irrelevant." A job is a job is a job, whatever the job is. They would rather hire someone who does what society thinks of as "irrelevant" than to hire someone who won't work.
