12-month résumé gap, advice? - 7 weeks in

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a store manager. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time.

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.
