4-month résumé gap, advice? after 9 years as a security officer

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a security officer. Thank you in advance. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time.

I was hired after a 4-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
