Sheesh, I must have missed the memo where caretaking a family member required making it your entire personality. Hope you and your family member are doing ok.
As a team lead who is in the process of hiring for three separate positions, I would treat any applicant who insisted on the transferability of their clearly unrelated skills as a “not a good fit” candidate. I get the importance of soft skills, and I value those, but to maintain that a caretaker can seamlessly fit into basically any job role with just a little imagination is disingenuous and a little embarrassing. I’m looking for concrete skills, not spin. By all means, put your best foot forward, just don’t wear clown shoes while you do it.
I am always reading one of Jarod K Anderson’s collections of poems and I recommend them to everyone.
Currently reading, “The Bullet Swallower” by Elizabeth James García. Yes, I would recommend it to any fans of magical realism and/or Cormac McCarthy.
Last book I read was “The Mirror and the Light” by Hilary Mantel. I would recommend it only to history nerds like me lol
