How To Write The "Perfect" Resume?
I am a 25 year old stay at home mother. I am currently looking into jobs now that my kids’ are a little older. And I’ve found some excellent jobs that in time will allow me to work at home. Which is wonderful considering that I have 4 kids’ and two of which have mental disability’s. But, I have a HUGE problem. Even though I know a lot about computers, sales, business management, etc. I’m afraid that since I have been out of the work force since I became a mother at 19 that I am at a slight disadvantage. I’ve learned a lot from home while I’ve been raising my kids’. And I was wondering how I would be able to write the "perfect" resume for me. Should I put what I’ve learned while on my "time off" and how should I write it to ensure that the employers take me serious and see that I am qualified? And does anybody know of any websites that show me examples of written resumes?
this is a tough situation for you… you KNOW you can do the job they want, but you have no tangible references.
step1: figure out what you would say to them face to face to convince them that you are what they want!
step2: put that in resume form (extra curriculars, awards, list raising kids in your job list, etc… whatever it takes). if you can’t figure out how to get it down in a nicely formatted resume – put it in the cover letter!
step3: organize the resume so that the answers to any criticisms they may have are placed at the top – where they’ll read it first, and that will tear any defenses down so they can read the rest of your credentials unbiased.
