Now I know many of you have wondered this ----
Where can I find examples of really GOOD SAHM resumes ---
You know we DO more than a plain worker bee ----
Yet describing it all is another challenge.

I don't want to forget anything on my new resume!

:D

My sister has worked for a recruiting company for years & knows what a resume should look like. When the time comes, I will have her help w/ mine. That's my suggestion to you. Truth be told, most employers will see the history of not working & toss you out unless you have volunteer work & computer training in there to bridge the gap. When youre ready to go to work, try to set up a meeting w/ your local recruiting firm, i.e: Adecco, Frontline, Express Personnel, Manpower.

I worked through Express for 9 months before getting hired @ a very large corporation. That temp work led to 5 years w/ this company. I would definitely go through a temp agency again. However, even if youre against it, it won't hurt to meet w/ them to have them fix your resume the way you want.

Thanks I may indeed consider that!

I worked a lot of temp work years back......

Wonder what's the best agency in our area?

Wonder if there's one that specializes in Healthcare places!?

I don't know about your area, but if you look at the want ads in your local paper, there will probably be a lot of them marked with a temp agency name. Check it out tomorrow.
