Assistance in updating my resume.?

Question

I'm in the process of updating my resume. I have currently been a home maker taking care of my daughter for the last 2 years. Can anyone tell me where I update that into my resume? Can it just be typed into the cover letter letting them know why I have been out of work for 2 years or should I also place it into the actual resume (job history?) This is a professional resume so I want to make sure it is done the correct way. Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

lie

Answer 2

I would not disclose the fact on your resume. I would however add it to each cover letter to explain the gap in employment.

Answer 3

I used this resume writing service in my area, this is the email address, ([e-mail]) you should try them, it only cost me $35.00 and I got a great job from this new resume, I never thought about the format that they use but the turn around time was less then 24 hrs.  I would have to say it was the best service I have ever used and it was worth every dime.  Also they let me pay through paypal.

Answer 4

you don't need to say all that in your resume.. taking care of your daughter isn't a job.. it's a civil obligation. You only need to update the number of people in your household and update the household income if your country gives some kind of payment for you having a child.

I hope my answer helped you

Answer 5

You should mention it in the cover letter. Such as "I am looking to get back into the work force after taking leave to raise my daughter."
