    I took time out to care for a family member after working as an administrative assistant. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. What do you say in interviews?

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

    A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.
