    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I am in Minneapolis, in case local advice matters. I am nervous about being filtered out.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 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.
