Resume help for SAHM reentering the workforce

Sept 2005

I'd like to re-enter the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom for 8 total years (wow!). Can anyone recommend a resume writer that gets results, to work with me in updating my resume and creating a cover letter. Thanks


I am a career counselor and specialize in working with mothers. Currently, I facilitate a group called ''Rediscovering Yourself in the Midst of Motherhood.'' I have over 15 years of experience in career counseling, and love working with mothers re-entering the workforce. What type of job are you looking for? Since you have been out of the workforce for a few years, I would recommend doing a ''functional'' type of resume which emphasizes your skils rather than your chronological work history. Also, this type of resume works best for presenting any volunteer experience you've had in the last 8 years. I love helping mothers with their resumes and cover letters, and am also really good at helping them sharpen their interviewing skills. If you'd like to talk to me further, please give me a call at (925) 376-5885. Yvonne Lefort, M.A.
I recommend Pam Condie. She is a Certified Professional Resume Writer with the National Association of Resume Writers and has 15 plus yearsm experience. Her telephone is (510) 653-7744. Stu

I would like to recommend my friend Sande Smith as a resume writer. She has helped me with things I needed written, and has written a few books. I know she has written resumes and cover letters for others, as well as papers, reports and presentations. Because she has studied other languages, she really enjoys working with people who have English as a second language. I know she has received compliments from interviewers about her own cover letters. So I can highly recommend her! Her phone number is 925-937-2446 and her email is sequoya AT ix.netcom.com
