    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a copywriter. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I am not sure how much to explain. 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.

    I was hired after a 7-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
