It is self-explanatory - but let me give you some personal details:
I was laid off from a professional position a year and a half ago. I've been applying for work since then, but also caring for my ailing mother. I need to re-enter the job market during a time when the economy is suffering. How and when to explain this season of my life to an employer - in my resume? Cover letter?
Thanks!
Of course, you should give an honest assessment as to how long the caregiving will be going on and let the person make their decision to hire you based on the company's needs. Good luck to you.
