Motherhood on my resume? Help me write the job description!

Ok... so I need your help on this one.  Should I or should I not include Motherhood on my resume?  Keep in mind I am applying to a preschool assistant position.  Take the poll above to say what you think.  Then if so inclined help me by writing what you think the job description part should say.  I can use a good laugh so funny is great too!!

  2. As zerfoss mama says, you are all of these things. Taking the serious route, the employer wants to know what you can DO outside of the family environmnet. So: volunteer at church, at school, anywhere? Put it down. Organize a fundraiser, school event, etc. Put it down. What skills have you taught yourself/picked up: Photoshop (through scrapbooking?) - put it down. they don't have to know what you did with it. Word (for letters, articles, etc.), Excel (for budgeting) - list 'em. Familiarity/comfort with software/Internet/online research - list it. You'd be surprised at how many people aren't that adept. You've got a lot going for you! I had to "reinvent" myself six years ago from a 30-year career, so it can be done!!
