    I took time out to care for a family member after working as an IT help-desk technician. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. What do you say in interviews?

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

    Keep your skills fresh and mention anything recent. It shows momentum.
