Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff

    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a bookkeeper. I am in Birmingham, in case local advice matters. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time.

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

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
