8-month résumé gap, advice?

    I have been out of work for 8 months and worry about the gap. It has been a long 24 weeks. I am nervous about being filtered out. Did anyone get past it?

    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 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
