8-month résumé gap, advice?

    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a marketing coordinator. I am in Madison, in case local advice matters. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. Did anyone get past it?

    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.
