How do I prepare a resume when I have been a stay at home mom and I am currently completing my degree?

I am wanting to apply for a Safety Rep position, but I am still trying to complete my degree in the meantime. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 9 years. My last job was in 1997- I currently handle all of my husbands company finances and paperwork for the last year.

How do I add my years as a stay at home mom to my resume?

How can I present a professional looking resume if I have been a stay at home mom the last 2 years?

I have 6 years expereience in an office. The last 2 years I have been a stay at home mom. Im trying to get back into the work force but hesitant on how to present the lapse in time. 2006-2008. Help!

I’m 52 years old, a stay at home mom for 12 years, but want to resume working outside the home. Any advice?

I have a college degree in Rec Administration. While at home, I’ve really developed a keen interest in I’d like to explore new career possibilities – something entry level, involving the internet. I’m interested in editing, website maintenance, researching for site content. Without formal training in the field, and given my age factor, am I looking at a pipe dream? What would you suggest? Thanks!

Which looks better on a “Resume for the Stay at home Mom” who is looking for employment?

Volunteer Work with no work history? or a Work history with gaps in employment?

Ive been a stay at home mommy, what do I put on my resume?

Ive been looking to go back to work but have noticed a few places dont want a cover letter. Do I put a stay at home mom on my resume? How do I say it?
I was only thinking I should do it so it dont look like I havent been doing anything for a couple years! I work in the medical field and they dont like gap’s in employment history.

What should I put on resume for 3 yrs. of non-employment? I was a stay-at-home mom, how to word it?

I stayed at home for 3 yrs. taking care of my children (no volunteer work). Now, I need to go to work but I have no idea as to what tp put down for that gap.

how do you build a good resume if youve been a stay at home mom for 5 years?

i have also been a daycare provider for 5 years. How do I build on this without making employers think I have no experience or skills?

How would you rate my accomplishments?

So have you guys heard of this? Apparently a small town in Oklahoma City had an election in which, John Hamilton or whatever his name is became the youngest mayor in American history. (At the age of 19) so as a future politician/foreign affairs major, this has opened up my eyes a little. Although I’m only 21, I feel as if I could be doing more! But what? How do I gain popularity/strength in my city? Constructive criticism only please! Although I am reminded what my father used to tell me back when I was young, “don’t try to be a great man, just be a man, and let history make its own judgments” thank you and God bless. In any case you would like to see my resume, to view what have I accomplished so far, you’re more than welcome.

Would you vote for me? Class elections.?

Good afternoon, I stand before you today to tell you why I will make the best president for the class of 2013. We have finally started high school, it is a new year in new school and now it is time to choose how the next the four years will be, when elected I promise make sure your time in the Dallas High School is the best it can possibly be. Over the years I have been a part of several things including the basketball, tennis, and track team, student council, farewell committee, and I have volunteered throughout the community these activities have helped me develop responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. In addition to this I have been able to get to know several different people from this class allowing me to know what you want. When I get elected I promise to volunteer every moment I can to making our school a better place, and raise as much money as we can. Whenever there is an issue or problem do not be afraid to consult me, or make any suggestion. I will always listen with an open mind and take everything you say into consideration. I am always open to compromise, and in the face of great challenges or hard decisions I promise do what is best for the school as a whole. I will work to build a bridge between the administration and the student body so our voices can be heard in every aspect of the school. I will not ignore any groups within the student body, we are all a part of this school and we all deserve an equal share in benefiting from it. By voting for me, you’re ensuring you are appreciated with what you bring to the school and I promise to use my services to help the students of this class in every way possible. Malik Wilson once said “To be a freshman is to be in possession of a wonderful thing: time. There is time to figure out what you want to do with your life, time to figure out what classes you want to take, what books you want to read. There is time to make friends. You could do poorly in a class and know you had time to improve. You could mess up in your relationship and have time to make things better. With four promising years ahead of you, time sat around like huge clumps of clay, waiting for you to shape them in whatever way you pleased.” We must use our time wisely, and enjoy as much as possible because before you know it we will be all heading in different directions. The decision we make now are the ones that affect our whole life and in the years to come we are going to make countless choices and I promise to help with any and every decision made within the school. As president I want you feel comfortable talking to me about any problems that you need help with, I am always there for you and this entire class. Together we have four years here in this school, four tears to decide what to do a after we graduate, four years to make memories and friends that we will never forget, four final years as a class together I would love to lead this amazing and crazy class, this and the next three years, so that our final four years together is not only wonderful but the most memorable years of our lives. Thank you for your time and consideration, and remember when you vote for me you vote for your voice being heard in this school.

We need a general MLM related forum in Yahoo Group to response MLM related topic. What you think,?

Hello,

We all know (hopefully at least agree) that MLM, Network Marketing, Referral Marketing, Word-of-Mouth Business, Affiliate Marketing is one of the most misunderstood industry in US. Since there are so many positive and negative comments in Yahoo Answer, I personally think we need to address these topics in certain Yahoo Group.

I am planning to open one Yahoo Group to address MLM related topic. I do not know what you guys think.

The people who are involve in the industry know that our industry is not so reputed and respected. Most of the reason is Hype and Lies. However there are good companies and certainly good products.

My main goal is to introduce Network Marketing in a form that people understand the business and respect it. Most anti-mlmer hate this industry due to the misconception.

I need every bodies help (People who are favor of MLM), we all know we can share the greatness of MLM and let people know the true face of the business.

Does any community have a business or forum for networking direct sales marketers?

Stay at home mom vs. working moms…….?

What are your views? Is one better than the other?
I am a stay at home mother and have rum into some real oppinionated opposition. I had a career before my children were born and chose to stay home afterwards. I am a whole hearted supporter of women who have to work to support their families and I am blessed to have a husband who works hard enough outside the home for both of us.(His words not mine.) I just don’t understand how some people look at stay at home mothers as lazy and undriven. I also chose to homeschool my girls, so I have double work, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Just wanted to know a few of you all’s opinion. Thanks
Boy, apparently my spell check was broken. Please forgive my errors

Stay at home mom vs working?

Last school year I worked part time as a high school english teacher. Over the summer, I was put on bed rest as I am pregnant with triplets. I also have 5 older children.

Okay, my options are to eventually go back to teaching and put the younger kids back into daycare (the majority of our kids aren’t in school yet) with the triplets OR to quit my job and be a SAHM at least until they are in preschool. I am terrified to give up my job in this economy and to give up the social interaction, At the same time, the money i make wouldn’t barely cover our daycare costs.

What are your opinions?

Working mom VS. Stay-at-home mom?

Which do you think is better for your child? What are the pros/cons of each?

stay at home moms vs working question of the day why did i get a thumbs down?

who has better kids sahm or working moms. i said it depends on the MOM not if you are working or not. you can stay at home all you want and not be there for them, or work and be there for them. it is all about the parent and how you love and raise your child. i know stay at home moms whos kids are better off somewhere else, yet a working mom who gives more love. or the other way around. why would someone give a thumbs down on that, am i wrong

Stay at Home Moms vs. Working Moms.?

There is always a big question as who’s lifestyle is more easier: stay at home moms or working moms? It is for sure that both types of mothers work very hard, but what is better for a woman, to stay at home with kids, or to work is very hard to determine. So let’s dig a little deeper and find out all the pluses and minuses for staying at home or working while being a mom. Anyone who has children, Read all..http://treasurestrove.com/index.php?topic=1074.msg1930;topicseen#msg1930

contrast the working mom vs the stay at home mom?

Though both are great, because theres no better than the other in this situation..although i do have a paper to write and i have to contrast the 2 so help is needed …So if you remember how to write a compare contrast paper PLEASE help..clouded on the topic couldn’t choose another!!

Stay-at-home vs. working?

I enjoy staying at home with my children and can’t imagine life without being at home. I wish women could afford to stay at home with their kids. What do you think? Would you rather stay at home with your kids? What do you think about stay-at-home moms vs. working moms?
Go get f&^%$#!

Your views on feminism and stay-at-home vs working Moms?

I think feminism provided women with a choice. I was lucky enough, with two college degrees, to be able to choose to be a stay-at-home mom. I read sooo much here against feminism. I have so much respect for career Moms. And I have so much respect for stay-at-home Moms.

I wonder: why are we arguing???

Do You Consider This Team A Dream Team?

U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team – 2008 Olympic Champions:

http://www.usavolleyball.org/National/mn…

“A knife-wielding Chinese man, identified as Tang Yongming, 47, stabbed Todd Bachman, of Lakeville, Minn., his wife Barbara and their female Chinese tour guide on Saturday at a popular tourist spot, the Drum Tower, a Dynasty-era building once used to tell time. The Bachmans are in-laws of U.S. volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon,” quoted by TIME Magazine.

But, still Hugh McCutcheon stayed in Beijing to coach his volleyball team.

The team won its first Olympic gold medal in 20 years.

Quotes for the ages. Know the answers?

1) “If it hugged the road any closer, it would be white line…” Who said this quote, and what was it in reference to?

2) After the incredible finish where Mansell was leading at the last lap, but mysteriously stalled, leaving the win to Nelson Piquet, what was the famous quote that Piquet said after the race in relation to his feelings when he saw Mansell stranded? What was the GP and what year?

3) “Aerodynamics are for those who cannot manufacture good engines”. Who said that?

4) “I got punched by Ayrton in the first race, crashed in my second, destroyed four cars in the third and got banned in my fourth”. Who was that driver?

5) Reporter: “Did tyres play an important role today?” “Oh, absolutely. You see, they keep the wheels from touching the ground”. Who was the driver who answered?

6) “We had a lot of problems this weekend, and I am looking forward to getting to the next race so we can have some more”. Who said this quote?

7) “In my time, the three drivers I saw racing with that extra something, the quality setting them apart from their rivals, were Villeneuve, Prost and Senna”. Many could have said the same, but whose quote is this specifically?
“Racing drivers have balls, unfortunately none of them are crystal”. Whose quote is this?

9) “Mansell’s wife is very unattractive. Mansell is very strange, it seems that like he likes to suffer. And I talk about double-suffering. Not only he married with that horrible woman, that he built a statue of her in their house’s garden.” Whose quote is this?

10) “Tell me, where it’s written that this team needs two number two drivers?”. Who is the driver that raised this question, to whom, and when?
After 5 answers, no one got 6), 7) and 10) right. Hints:

6) It was a Finnish driver.

7) Although Lauda may have said that as well (I am not aware, though), I specifically refer to a French driver.

10) We are talking late 1970′s.
It’s time for the answers:

1) Mario Andretti in reference to the Lotus type 79 and its aerodynamic qualities

2) Aside for the “I don’t feel sorry for Nigel”, Nelson Piquet Sr. said something that even translated in several languages will remain a classic. For decency-indecency reason I cannot quite repeat the exact words, but it has something to do with what men do when they reach the point of procreating!!!

3) Enzo Ferrari

4) Eddie Irvine

5) Alan Jones

6) Mika Salo

7) Patrick Tambay
David Coulthard

9) Nelson Piquet, Sr.

10) Mario Andretti to Colin Chapman in 1978 referring to his position with Ronnie Peterson

Good job from most of you! I noticed that WinWin is a fast genius in finding pertinent websites, while the rosbifs and the Allans of the world rely more on old knowledge. In the future I will have to find some quotes that are not so easy to search through the internet. Regardless, it has been fun. Thanks to all.

So Hillary and Barack, by her own admission last night are on the same team…REALLY???

tuesday quote…
We are on the same team,” she said, after allowing the applause to build to a crescendo and linger, longer than usual — much like the Democratic primary race itself. “Barack Obama is my candidate,” she said. “And he must be our president.”

……………….BUT EARLIER……………..

quoting
Dec. 3, 2007: “So you decide which makes more sense: Entrust our country to someone who is ready on Day One … or to put America in the hands of someone with little national or international experience, who started running for president the day he arrived in the U.S. Senate.”

_March 2008. “I know Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”

_Feb. 23, 2008: “Now, I could stand up here and say, ‘Let’s just get everybody together. Let’s get unified.’ The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.”

………AND IF THE SUPPORT IS REALLY THERE THAN WHY THIS…

The bill came due Tuesday. The crowd. The applause. The promise of a vote Wednesday, and a speech laced 17 times by some variation of the pronoun “I.”

“You never gave up,” Clinton told her delegates, a phrase that so perfectly fits her. “You never gave up. And together we made history.”

AND OF COURSE WHY THE QUICK AND EARLY ROLE CALL VOTE…

do we really want to be …”sold” on white house suitablility or should we vote what we know to be right and vote mccain?

WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?

is lomana lua lua’s ego bigger then his football skills?

this is the man who made quotes such as ” i dont see what the big deal with ronaldinho is i can do everything he can do” (so thats why he got 6 goals all season for portsmouth) and his best quote yet when asked if he was moving spain “i want to move to spain because spanish teams build a team around players of my quality”, i mean damn who the hell does this guy think he is everytime i have seen him play he has been mediocre at best.

Need Idea’s on how to make money!?

Hi everyone – I’m Rick! (age 19) I had a quick question and was hoping you guys can help me put with it. Well, around 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a very rare muscle disease that eventually left me bedridden… And after being on medication and rehab, today I’m glad to say I’m 100% healthy – Thank God!

However, as you can imagine (in 2 years of absents) I’ve really missed out on a lot, including the whole aspect of making money. Now before you say, “Well just get a Job, Rick.” I’m more partial to taking the entrepreneurial stance, when it comes to money. I just really need to do something, not only to help myself but my family and people who need it!

But when it comes down to it, I just need Idea’s something that will allow me to make RESIDUAL income and get my own car with an apartment. All Idea’s are welcome! I’m just trying to get my life back in the right track.

Thank you all!
- God Bless!

As a college student and mother how can I earn a substantial income?

I’m a full-time college student, graduating next May and a mommy to a18 month old. My husband and I are splitting up and up until now he’s been the bread winner, so I’m now left figuring out how I’m going to pay the bills, stay in school and be a present mother.

I’ve always earned good grades but because of a series of withdrawals when I had my son, I’m not eligible for financial aid. I do however, have a scholarship that will cover my tuition. The problem is I’m not getting any residual funds. I don’t want to drop out or reduce to part-time because I really want to earn my degree, so that I can start my career.

Secondly, now that I’m a mom, I can’t work and go to school full time without neglecting time with my son.

What job or small business can I do to pay the bills but doesn’t take a ton of time? I’m looking for any creative ideas!! Also…I’m looking for something moral and legal, no stripping, escorts, drug dealing, etc!!!!

Good investment advice?

I’m 18 years old and am currently living in Ireland. I plan to move abroad soon but am unemployed. I have approx. 700 euro I would like to do something with. Now I have no idea about anything in terms of investing. But is there anyway i can turn this 700 into residual income or make any gain with it. Any advice relating to ways to make money from it is welcome and doesn’t have to be strictly investing but does have to be realistic. Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated.
