    I took time out to care for a family member after working as a hotel front-desk agent. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I am nervous about being filtered out.

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

    I was hired after a 5-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
