    I have been out of work for 5 months and worry about the gap. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am not sure how much to explain.

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

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
