    I have been out of work for 5 months and worry about the gap. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am nervous about being filtered out. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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