Funny how that works. Can't get a job because of a gap in the resume. Not getting hired leads to an even bigger gap. Its a vicious cycle.
45Capitalist class can't stand it when the human stock isn't working.
36You can tell most interviewers that you were caring for family during that gap and they won't question further. Lie through your teeth, fuck em.
32It's not even lying, you're a member of your family. Technically it's a truthful answer and if they assume something that they don't want to pursue further, that's on them.

I just told the truth. Personal time off, health and wellness, weight loss, surfing, travel, and yes vibing doing nothing.
It went over well. Most interviewers were more interested in that than my professional experience. Most people can't do that and want to know what it's like.
For my part, I don't want to work for/with people who look down on that sort of thing.
Warning: my resume is extremely strong so I have a lot of leverage. YMMV
