I've been a SAHM for 5 years now. Obviously, my resume is way outdated and I have no clue how to update it and what about the gap? What have you done to update your resumes and/or cover letters?
On a side note, I'm also in a lot of conflict about returning to work. I have three kids (5, 3 and 1 yo). Obviously, day care cost is an issue hence staying home. I know right now if I look hard enough I might be able to find something that covers day care costs exactly. DH currently works but his job is extremely stressful and doesn't allow for him to have a life really. He's been chugging at it and he's worried that with the way his current company is he is always worried about losing his job. So lately he's been talking to me about starting to look for a job, not necessarily for extra money but for "security". Now DS1 will start half day kindergarten in September and so still I will basically need day care for three kids...which is costly. I don't think now is the best time for me to go back to work since the kids will still need day care and I doubt I can find day care I will like for the price I can cover with the salary I can get, IYKWIM. We don't have family nearby so we have to look for day care...I dunno I'm thinking now isn't the time to go back to work...maybe at least when DS1 and DS2 are in full time school it might be worthwhile to consider.
Anyways, I was wondering and looking for advice on the issue. Thank you for your advice.
