5-month résumé gap, advice?

    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am nervous about being filtered out. What do you say in interviews?

    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.

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