    I took time out to care for a family member after working as an administrative assistant. It has been weighing on me all week. I am not sure how much to explain. What do you say in interviews?

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

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