    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I am not sure how much to explain. Did anyone get past it?

    A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
