How do I handle a long gap on my résumé?, procurement assistant here

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a procurement assistant. It has been weighing on me all week. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time.

A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.

I was hired after a 11-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.
