    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a welding apprentice. It has been a long 11 weeks. I am nervous about being filtered out. How did you handle it on your résumé?

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

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