Help me write a resume after a career break by interviewing me first. Ask one question at a time and wait: (1) how long I was away and why I am comfortable sharing, (2) what I did during the break that built skills (caring, volunteering, courses, freelance work, community leadership, projects), (3) my previous roles and best achievements, (4) the role I want now, (5) what has changed in my field and how I have caught up, and (6) any worries about gaps. My background: [MY_BACKGROUND]. After the interview, create: a resume layout that suits my situation (reverse chronological with a short, factual entry for the break, or a combination format with skills first, and the reasons for the choice); a one-line description of the break that is honest and unapologetic; 4 bullets that translate break activities into transferable skills without exaggeration; refreshed skills and learning evidence; a summary; a cover letter paragraph on the break; and answers to three likely interview questions. Do not hide or distort dates, and do not treat caring work as something that needs justification. Include a checklist for updating tools and terminology. Private details stay private; I decide what to share.
