Basically, I haven't worked recently (long story, forced to quit by Big Corp. due to work injuries, no interest in legal issues). Anyhow, I have since recovered (as best as possible in my own way with help & support of family/husband & without doctors, pt, etc.). Now I am ready to get back to work! Here's where I need Help, please. What do I say about why I quit good fast-track corp job so long ago (will worker's comp record come up in background check?) & haven't worked at a "real job" in 6 yrs, other exp. worked part-time & went to school before, also former co-founder of closed company? I want to work at heart & soul non-profit (lower pay ok) arts related orgs (been volunteering off and on for the past few years at similar orgs in other cities two hours away, commuted to finish my BA degree while caring for my uncle who had cancer, he passed away before I graduated). Also, how do I state volunteer experience on resume & especially on application (usually no room for this info)?
