Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff

    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a delivery driver. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

    I was hired after a 9-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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