Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Hiya, Normikins, I used to do trainings for long term unemployed people, and we used a resume format that wasn't dated explicitly. At the top, centered, was name, address, phone and email address. (Divide the page into fourths, this first part being in the top quarter of the page.) In the next quarter, write a paragraph which includes all your working experience, putting special emphasis on whatever is most appropos of the job you are seeking. In the third quarter, write another paragraph describing your education, special training, and etc. And, then in the fourth quarter, list at least three business references. On the cover letter, keep it simple, direct, and honest. Tell the prospective employer why you are the person for the job, and don't sell yourself short, but don't brag. Keep it dignified, informal, and snappy if possible. Not more than two large paragraphs, with a greeting and closing so you don't leave the reader hanging, make sure your address, phone, email, etc. are on the bottom of the cover letter page, and typed cleanly on ivory colored paper. This gets more attention than white paper and looks much nicer. Hope these tips are helpful, honey. I've been asked to read English Lit. papers for one of my friends who is a college professor, and it means a few bucks for Christmas shopping, so I think I'm going to try it. It's something I can do at home, would enjoy, and can take breaks whenever I need to do so. Wish me luck, too. Hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Hi Normi, being a VP of Nursing at my hospital and looking at all resumes that come into the nursing dept. I can tell you that if I didn't see all time allotted to someone since graduation from high school I would ask the question as to what their work history is. If you have a gap in your history that is not accounted for people would wonder what you were doing all that time. If the experience would help you get a job you are applying for I would linclude it. And remember, no one can turn you down because of your medical history, only if you are qualified for the job your are applying for. Good luck in your quest. You deserve only the best. Kay -- hoping for some feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Hi Normi! Microsoft WORD has a few " resume " templates to choose from. They basically help you thru it and you type everything yourself and print it on " resume paper " you can buy at your local office supply store. It can really look professional. I did my own too. I would put all of my experience if I were you. If they ask why you haven't worked, just say there was no " need " or " housewife " .... now you want to work, so you are available. Something like that. I went for a few years in between jobs, and that was because I was married. My first husband he doesn't count... second husband I was with for 12 1/2 years and he wouldn't " allow " me to work. Did it anyway once I got bored, so we divorced. hehehee His lose! And I was working up until June and my health just made it too difficult for me with the baby and all. I was taking him to the office with me. I had a hell of a time. Anyway... I hope this helps. My church also offers their own employment agency for members of the church and they make them there too. Let me know how it goes. Take Care!!! <hugs> Dory :-) ---- Original Message ----- To: " group " <LUPIESYAHOOGROUPS (DOT) COM> Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 10:38 PM Subject: hoping for some feedback. HI all. I have a few questions ,I am hoping some of you may have some answers too. Ok, I want to draft a resume and cover letter. I have been on social security since march 1989. A great deal of my employment experience is up to that date. Other than that has been school and obtaining the phleb license, working just last year and into part of this year at Kmart and for a temp agency. I keep getting mixed opinions on what to include on a resume. Being that much of my office and banking experience was up to Mar 1989, and I have been on SSA all this time, what do I include? Some people tell me I need to put my prior history , as this is key for some of the jobs I may look for. Some say, never put anything past 5 yrs ago. If I do that, I will not be able to list my detailed experience. Dept of Rehab did one so basic for me, that I had a lady at a temp agency look at it and say " I would NOT give that to anyone " . Anyone have any thoughts on this? I am not sure how to account for being out of work all these years, yet be able to offer my employment background. I do not want to offer any clues on my health issues, unless I need any type of accomodations. I keep seeing some PT jobs that would really suit me well, but it is always this resume and cover letter issue holding me up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Hi Dory , thanks! It is good to get some feedback on this subject. I have been into sites, ie monster.com, etc..... I also have looked at areas, that the newspapers offer on resume tips and all. I just did not seem to fit the " norm " so to speak. I never do though, lol... I think this added to my concern and confusion. They seem to be speaking to the " average Joe/josephine " . I was not as much concerned with the formatting, as with the content and the lapse in employment dates. On the other hand, I recall reading a lot about formatting as well. Another thing, some of the places I worked are no longer in existence.Some of the banks basically merged together. I am sure the employee history is somewhere. I know when I worked for B of A in SF, I did employment verification. Back then, anything older than a few years was in the basement files. Of course, this was when we still used microfiche machines.....lol... As far as phone numbers , addresses, and supervisor names, etc.... I can only offer the main offices at this point, or their HR. I worked for Barclays of CA and Wells Fargo took them over. B of A took over Security pacific nat'l bank, and that is the last place I worked at, before I went out on SSA. So, I was also worried about this as well. Do I list all schooling as well? I am not sure that what I went to school for, is at all relevant to the jobs I am looking at now. In the last several years, I have gone to school for psychology, phlebotomy, etc.... I am just really out of touch with the working world now. Never thought I would be saying this, but many people never do. I am also feeling like age and other factors may be a bit against me. I know I do not have to offer health problems unless I am contagious, or unless I need some type of accomodations. But, I had a few bad experiences when I moved here and went to work part time. Some people think you are contagious. So all the help I can get with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Normi hoping for some feedback. > > > >HI all.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Normi, Have you thought about technical report writing? It can be done at home, is usually contracted for by companies who need temporary clerical or editorial help, and you can call your own shots. I tried it for a while, but got too sick to continue. You are a smart cookie, you could do it easily. I betcha. Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hi Normi, we are pretty good. Kim is having more better days right now. She is getting out more and doing more with the kids. They are in their new home now but don't have internet right now so I have to keep her up to date on things with all of you. MIL has decided not to go through with the chemo treatments. They made her so sick she was in the hospital for 10 days. Dr. says it won't cure her so she says then why should I be sick? We all support her in her decision. Right now we are going to Indiana because my niece's husband passed away. He was 29 years old and was sitting in his chair watching TV one minute and the next minute he was gone. did CPR until EMS came but nothing they did brought him back. They have 2 little girls and are expecting a new baby boy in two weeks. It is just so sad. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. Hope you are doing ok and sure hope you find the job you deserve! And you deserve the best there is. Love Kay -- hoping for some feedback.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Normi, Technical report writing is a service you advertise in the business journals or newspapers in which you offer to edit and publish via computer or word processor technical reports written by people who need the service. For instance, researchers often need such a service, and don't like to depend on in-house clerical staff because of the confidential nature of their work. Likewise, business executives who are writing big mergers, prospectuses on their stock offerings, and etc. You don't need to know the technical language, just how to spell it, and for that there are dictionaries available specific to the technology being addressed in the various papers. Sounds more complicated than it is. Essentially, it is an editing/desk top publishing service you run from home on your home computer. You would probably have to save to floppy, and that would belong to the client, and they would most likely require that you clear it off your files once they have it in their possession. I used to do this kind of thing, but for college post grads who were working on their dissertations. Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 HI Kay. That is wondeful to hear that you and Kim are doing well. I have been waiting to hear that. :-) Hopefully she will be able to get internet service soon, she is missed. I certainly can understand why your MIL feels that way. I may not be in that position mysedl, but from taking the hospice course, and some people I have been around, they prefer quality of what is left of their lives, and it sure makes sense. I agree, why be sick if you are not going to be cured. I am a believer in palliative care when given a dx such as this. I am so sorry about the passing of such a young man. That is terribly sad, and such young children and one not yet here to meet his daddy. What a shock that must be. Did he suffer an aneurisym? My doctor suddenly passed that way. You and your family are in my prayers. Your family has been through such incredibly tough times in such a short period of time. Love to you , Normi P.S. thanks again for your advice on the resume. hoping for some feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
