long time span with no work, due to being stay at home mom

[lotlucas]

I was a stay-at-home mom for 25 years. Thus, I have a large gap on my resume with no work experience.

What is the best way to deal with this, resume wise?

Thanks!

Have you used your license doing volunteer work in a free clinic? Is your license current? Have you kept up your readings on the field? Have you taken courses to stay current?

I think you might want to check into finding a local workforce center for help. Here's a vid about someone with a similar large gap: Meet Laurie – Single Mom with Large Gaps in Resume | Jobs and educational information

Oh, one more thing: On your application forms use the power phrase "Family commitment" for reason for leaving.
