Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff

    I have been out of work for 4 months and worry about the gap. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am not sure how much to explain. Did anyone get past it?

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