4-month résumé gap, advice?

    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a barista. I am in St. Louis, in case local advice matters. I am nervous about being filtered out. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
