5-month résumé gap, advice? - 14 weeks in

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a quality inspector. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I am nervous about being filtered out.

I was hired after a 5-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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.
