How do I handle a long gap on my résumé? - 2 weeks in

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a hotel front-desk agent. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. What do you say in interviews?

I was hired after a 12-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

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