Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff

    I have been out of work for 3 months and worry about the gap. I am in Baltimore, in case local advice matters. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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

    I was hired after a 3-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
