A few days ago I asked for some advice about not having any luck finding work. I've had 4 interviews, made it past round 3 on 3 however not offered a job. I was hoping I could get some feed back on my resume and cover letter. A bit of back story stopped working in 2020 due to health issues, pandemic hit and moved cross country & decided to focus on raising my children. During that time I pursued an entrepreneurship opportunity. Please see below. This only allows so many characters. 🥴😵‍💫

Put your experience first. You don't need to put in the paragraph about being a "stay at home mom". You will be asked about gaps in employment during an interview . Put any certifications you have, as well as your education on the bottom after the work experience . Put the type s of software you have experience with as well. You can remove the "strong communication and interpersonal skills" as well as time management. Let the prospective employer ask about those things. RE: interviews -remember to research the company you are applying to as well as the person you will interview with. Remember you are interviewing the company well . Ak ways send an email after to reinforce your interest . Good luck !!

Personally I say alter your format to show experience and years of experience, not the years you worked there.

Amazon Retailer- 8 years experience
-list your marketable skills in bullet points
-
-
Radiology Assistant - 4 years experience
-list marketable skills
-
-
I would not list being a SAHM as a job/experience. You can cite that verbally if asked about gaps in employment and If they ask where you worked most recently you can tell them Amazon but that you did take some time away for family and are ready to get back into the workforce. While not employed, you did other things that attribute to your value as an employee.

I’m trying to fix up my resume to apply to other companies. It’s my first resume fix since college so I’m trying to see what to include/ take out.
1) Do I keep my internships? My leadership experiences in college?
2) How do I organize my engagement experiences - All combined bullets or separated by client?
3) How about my internal efforts? (I did 3 internal projects within the firm)
4) Education on top or bottom?

If anyone has a good resume example, please do share!
