HRAAB Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I have an interview tomorrow and am attempting to update my resume today (last minute notice). I have not worked outside the home since 1995 although I did vocational research for a counselor on a sporadic basis until 2000. So, I have a huge gap. What is appropriate in this case? I don't want them to think that I've been watching soaps, eating bonbons and chatting on the phone for the last 14 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fill it with a lot of fluff, but be honest about what you've done the past fourteen years. 1995-Present -- Teaching parent of four children, two of whom are now in university. Researched and selected age and chlid appropriate curricula Taught to levels of mastery the following subjects: Language arts, Maths, Sciences, History, Languages (whatever is true here) Coordinated extracurricular and enrichment activities Created lesson plans and structured daily lessons to maximize the learning experiences for each child etc....... Be sure to include mention of that vocational research you did, as well as any church or civic volunteer activities in which you were involved, assuming there was some managerial or leadership role being served.
