The purpose of any résumé is to make it easy for employers to appreciate your unique value, experience, and qualifications. If you are a stay-at-home parent or caregiver who is ready to apply for full or part-time work outside the home, it may seem as though you have nothing to present to a prospective employer. But, contrary to what you might think, you accomplish many different tasks daily that exemplify a great employee to hiring managers.
A few of the many essential qualifications achieved while managing a household full-time include advanced accounting, time management, logistics, crisis management, scheduling, customer service, negotiating, caregiving, teaching, and can often incorporate blogging/social media expertise.
Below is a very abbreviated sample of how you can incorporate these skills into your résumé’s experience section.
