Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff

    I have been out of work for 4 months and worry about the gap. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. What do you say in interviews?

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