    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a teaching assistant. It has been a long 2 weeks. 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.

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
