    I practiced writing a resume in Careers last year, but I have yet to write a real one.

    You just have to word it in a way that sounds impressive, so instead of saying you've been a stay at home mum, you say you have extensive experience working in child care.

    I wonder if I can write "A good lay," on mine.

    Hihi! And put writing fan fiction as "Creative Writing" or something

    Yeah, I'll try next year, when all my pups are in school. Hopefully they will not see it as a blank period but as a life enriching experience.

    PS: Roto, depends on the job you are going for... And how cute the interviewer is

    See, I considered trying that, but people kept giving me this look...
    Try putting "Administrator of Internet Forum" on it.

    Roto, I suggest putting "works well with others", "great multitasker", and "not afraid to go where most people won't go ever." down under the skills section.

    I don't think "not afraid to go where most people won't go ever" would be appropriate for an elementary school teacher resume.

    I gave out like a dozen resumes today! Got one interview so far.

    Nope. I'm 13. I wonder if you'd even need one for the career I'm pursuing.

    I have one that I wrote for college scholarships. It could be more impressive, I suppose, but I think it has some eye catching things on it.
