I've applied for a bunch of jobs in the last few weeks. I think the 10 year gap in employment (due to being a stay-at-home-mom) is my problem (not to mention no one seems to want new grads). I am going to try addressing this on my next few applications, and putting something in my cover letter and/or resume, so people don't just see "Oh, she didn't work for 10 years before nursing school", and toss my app in the trash.
I googled this, and everything says to put down your volunteer experience, etc. I had 3 kids in 5 years, I was too busy to volunteer! LOL! So, can anyone please give me some suggestions? I applied for a few jobs and didn't put down any work history at all, but still no dice. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
