    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a project coordinator. 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.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
