    My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. I am nervous about being filtered out. How did you handle it on your résumé?

    I was hired after a 14-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.
