Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff

    I took time out to care for a family member after working as an HR coordinator. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I am nervous about being filtered out. Did anyone get past it?

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

    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.
