So my current role doesn’t really have any relation to the types of roles I’m looking at. Do I still need to waste the space on the resume to spell out a few of the projects I’ve been doing?

Context: I had callbacks at a big law firm while i was in law school and after one partner finished her questions and I finished asking my questions, she told me to ask her a really tough question, something to really stump her. l fumbled and am pretty sure that majorly factored into the rejection.

What would you ask?

I need a job please. I have interviewed been passed over. All due to budget or worry I will not stay at the company for long. And it’s not because I m not a fit for the job. They want me but don’t want me to quite.

I want to work remotely, but am needing ideas for what to put on my resume. I’ve been an RN for 15 years and have worked mainly in hospitals: med surg, and some work in LTC, SNF, ALF, hospice. I have a year of teaching nursing students in clinicals and labs, and some lecture teaching. Also, I have done regional advising at a call center for 7 months. Just how to put this on a resume to “sell” myself seems challenging.
