10-month résumé gap, advice? - 25 weeks in

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a call-centre agent. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am nervous about being filtered out.

I was hired after a 10-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

I listed the volunteering and course under the same dates and kept the explanation to a sentence in the cover letter.
