7-month résumé gap, advice? - 7 months and counting

    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a recruiter. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. 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.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
