    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. It has been a long 9 weeks. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

    I was hired after a 2-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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