It's completely understandable that you took time away from your career to serve as a caretaker for a family member. Potential employers are likely to be understanding of such situations, especially given the demanding nature ofiving responsibilities. When you're ready to re-enter the workforce, it's important to be honest about this gap in your resume You might consider addressing it in your resume by briefly explaining the in a cover letter and focusing on any transferable skills or professional development you've gained during this period.

It's also valuable to remember that you've gained and applied various skills while in the role of a caretaker, such as effective communication, time management, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence, which can be relevant to many professional positions. By emphasizing these skills and experiences in your application materials, you can showcase your continued personal and professional growth during your time as a caretaker.

so i can address the gap in the cover letter only or should it be listed in my experience on my resume as well?

You have the flexibility to address the gap in your cover letter and decide whether to include details in your resume. It's common to explain significant gaps in employment in a cover letter, especially where it might be seen as an advantage.

When considering how to address the gap you might choose to emphasize the skills and experiences gained during that time as a caretaker without necessarily providing specific dates in the experience section of your resume.

In the cover letter, you can briefly mention that you took time to care for a family member, emphasizing the transferable skills gained and your enthusiasm to re-enter the workforce. By doing so, you demonstrate transparency while staying focused on your professional skills and aspirations.

what is a saved prompt in this app

In this context, a saved prompt refers to a feature that allows users to revisit and engage with specific conversations that have been saved within the application. This feature makes it easier for users to return to important or informative discussions without having to search through extensive chat histories. If you are looking to save this conversation for future reference within the application, it would involve utilizing the app's built-in functionality for saving or bookmarking specific threads or messages for later access. Depending on the application or platform, the method for saving prompts may vary, so I recommend exploring the app's options for saving conversations to take advantage of this feature.
