I have been a stay at home mom for the past 5 years what do I put on my resume?

Answer 1

You could list a skills-oriented resume rather than one which lists your positions and dates. Although I commend you for staying home, some managers feel that you are not used to a hard day's work in a fast-paced atmosphere (I didn't say it was fair... I just said it's the perception of some managers). To make yourself more attractive to potential employers, take a few classes in a field that interests you... and you can job hunt and let potential employers know that you are working toward a degree. You'll be taken more seriously.

Answer 2

If the duties you had are not relevant, do not put them on the resume. However, in your cover letter, note what you did. "For the last 5 years I have enjoyed the duties of a stay at home mom. My daughter has now grown and I am ready to transition back into the professional world."

Answer 3

Housewife is the usual terminology.
A resume generally has a list of duties. You could get really creative with this! Tell about all the things you had to do as manager of the household. If somebody had to pay you to do all those things, imagine what it would be worth !!

Then show your occupation(s) for several years preceding that.

Be sure and indicate your high school history, and any organizations you were involved in at that time.

Don't forget your churches and clubs.

Answer 4

Self Employed, then put all things you did or learned to do during that time.

Answer 5

Nothing unless they want a reason, then i would say unemployed due to personal family choices, or responsibilities.

Answer 6

I have early childhood education experience.
I am efficient at multi tasking.
When sh!t happens... I can handle it.


Good luck to you.
