   List it as Caregiver with the date range just as you would a job. In your summary at the top of your resume list all of your key skills. I’ve recruited many that stepped out due to caring for family. I imagine as well due to Covid resumes are all over the place with layoffs that happened, caring for others, themselves and just in general job changes. Keep plugging away and also try to connect to a staffing firm to help get you back in.

   Also there is a coach connect feature here that may help guide you as well.

   The fourth quarter is difficult. Most companies I know are waiting for the election to better game the economy.

   Make sure you keep your network aware of your search. At the VP level, you want to be top of mind for headhunters and many of them will hear about your availability by other VPs and above.

   I think there are so many skills that you need as a caregiver, especially with emergent health issues, that would be transferable. Coordination of and advocacy for care, managing multiple service providers, short and long term planning, the list goes on. Add to your resume.

   Two rules of thumb. If it's only been a couple of months, and within the same year, some folks leave it off and explain in the interview as appropriate. If it's been longer and into a new year, be honest. In your case, I'd say "Family Caregiver." List dates, your skills, projects, accomplishments. If you have, you could also add " Consultant" for the line of work you're in. You may also want to consider becoming a consultant.

   Not hearing from anyone is par for the course these days. You're in good company. Keep plugging away. Focus on networking and talking with folks (getting references, and suggestions). If you're a VP, I'm sure there are a couple of headhunters interested in working with you. This quarter, and close to the election, some companies are hiring fast and some are holding off. FWIW, if you have any higher degrees or certificates, you could also consider contacting your alumni liaisons. Some folks take care of their alumni from graduation to grave. Some just for a few years.

   Good luck!

    I got into crash-style games while chilling in Nairobi after work, and I didn’t expect them to become my go-to way of playing. The fast pace, watching the multiplier climb, deciding when to cash out — it keeps my heart racing every single round. Somewhere along the way I switched to CaptainsBet, and that’s when things really clicked. The platform https://aviator-kenya.ke/crash-games/ runs smooth even with my regular data bundle, deposits are quick, and withdrawals actually land without drama. Playing from Kenya, that reliability matters a lot. I like that I can jump from sports bets to these high-energy rounds in seconds. It feels modern, responsive, and honestly just fun without unnecessary complications.
