    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

    I was hired after a 14-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 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
