    I have been out of work for 7 months and worry about the gap. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time.

    I was hired after a 7-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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