[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lady, you can't get a full time job that's 9-3pm. Even a part time job is much more likely to be two or three full days a week rather than shortened hours each day. Look into the requirements for being a teacher's aide - in NY you just have to be a high school graduate and non-pedophile. [/quote]

I never said I was looking for a full time job.    I am looking for part time.   Like I said, I have seen a few jobs advertised that actually look they would work for me, in regards to hours and experience required.   I am just hesitant to apply because I am unsure of what to put on my resume or what should be on a cover letter.[/quote]

Honesty.

For the past 15 years, I have focused on raising my children and volunteering in the community.  Now that my children are grown, I am looking for opportunities to contribute my energies in the workforce.  My ideal position......  My skills include....

I would respect that over someone who tries to pretend lime their volunteer position on the PTO is somehow the equivalent of a paid job.  I get that raising kids full time is hard - but it's not the same as being accountable to the boss every day, so don't pretend otherwise.  Just be honest and explain why you want a job now.  Good luck![/quote]
