    I have been out of work for 11 months and worry about the gap. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I am not sure how much to explain. 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 11-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
