    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a sales associate. I am nervous about being filtered out. What do you say in interviews?

    I was hired after a 6-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
