6-month résumé gap, advice? - 26 weeks in

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a paralegal. I am in Fresno, in case local advice matters. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

I was hired after a 6-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
