    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I am not sure how much to explain.

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

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