    I have been out of work for 9 months and worry about the gap. It has been weighing on me all week. 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.

    Keep your skills fresh and mention anything recent. It shows momentum.
