    I have been out of work for 6 months and worry about the gap. It has been a long 6 weeks. I am nervous about being filtered out.

    A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
