Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff (update)

    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a retail manager. Any experience at all would help. I am nervous about being filtered out. What do you say in interviews?

    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 13-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
