How do I prepare a resume when I have been a stay at home mom and I am currently completing my degree?

Resumes are extremely important, contrary to one answer. And I agree with the others, Homemaker is a very valid career. You have had to manage the household accounts, use effective time management skills, marketing research which products are best for your household, food planning and preparation, transportation coordinator for the kids, effectively manage family members through appointments, social events, school meetings, etc. ... And you did all this without an executive assistant. Anyone who doesn't consider all those qualities doesn't deserve someone as dedicated as you. Good luck !!!

You want your focus to stay primarily on the mother. General topics may include forms of: \n1.) Parenting set ups (there are several forms of parenting set up-examples may include single parent, two parent in mom/dad or mom/signifiant other or mom/extended family, the mom that doesn't have full custody of her children-she may have joint custody or just visitation or may have lost visitation all together or may have lost her children all together; stay at home mom that may or may not be working from home, the working mom, etc.)\n2.) Forms of parenting styles (examples may include the "layed back" mom, the "overprotective mom", the "little bit of both mom", etc.) \n2.) Characteristics of each parenting style (including displining, raising various numbers of children, etc.) note: number of children will change the dynamics of family-examples may include single child family, two child family, three or more child family/ also note: you can look through some Child Psychology books to get ideas on how the number of children changes even the general personalities of the children and family dynamics \n3.) Circumstances that change family dynamics (examples may include poverty, alcoholism and substance abuse, overwhelming weathy situation-because they do have their issues too, roles that other people have on the family like the "pushy" relative or nosy neighbor etc., health or phycological problems of either the parent or the children or another person in the family's life, etc.) \n4.) Illistrating a mom. (pick a mom that you most identify with and talk with her find out how she deals with everything, find out from her what her most and least favorite things about being a mom are, etc.)\nAnd when doing your essay you want to make sure you show any sources where you got your information at the very least in a Bibliography (if not by footnotes).

A resume is like a report of sorts. you can google and find some samples I'm sure. I don't think they do cover sheets anymore but, you usually start with facts about yourself. Full name: .......Birthdate:..... Address:.......Phone 3:....... Then your education should be next. Graduated from:  school name and year.\nThen you start with a general description of your work experience. It can be in Date form most current to the first.  LIKE: From. April 05 to Jan.06:  insert the job you did and under that a brief decsription of the job and then a contact person name, address and phone number.\nOnce the jobs are listed Write a letter of sorts describing yourvgoals, any extra things you did like any clubs or volunteering or any sports or anything you did. Any hobbies and interests and make it gear towards the job you are trying to get. \nIt's really information. Then last you put any work and personal references  names and addresses and phone numbers. Then call the people you put down and ask them to be looking for a call. don't let them be caught off guard. With caller ID a lot of people don't pick up if they don't know the name.\nIt is really just information. \nI think simple and to the point is best Start at the left margin and do the first page. Job experience, and references and then do the same \n with the intro letter, Thank them for their time before closing the letter and end with Sincerely, your name and sigh it. Put your contact number and address there also.\n good luck. If you have microsoft office or works, I think it has a format for resume on there. Just use what applys to you. Leave the rest. Too much info is not always good. Make sure everything looks good. Check all spelling and phone numbers. Have someone else look at it. Good luck.

I am in the same position right now as you.  I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years now and have put my education on the back burner.  Now that 2 of my children are going to be in school full time it's time to go back and further my education.  I don't want to spend a lot of time going back to school, so instead of going to a regular college I am going to go to a trade school where I will just be learning the Trade and by pass all of the other stuff.  There are a lot of options for getting a degree in less than two years.  Medical assisting, dental assisting, massage therapy, billing insurance and coding, pharmacy technician, x-ray technician, paralegal, court reporting, legal assistant etc.  I hope everything works out for you.  It's tough when your out of school for so long and then go back. You'd be surprised at how much of the basics you forget and have to learn all over again.  It's worth it though to better yourself.  Best of luck!

Below are some sample resumes for your reference:\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nIf you are willing to spend a little money:\nhttp://www.resume-templates.com\n\nHere are some guidelines:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Use action verbs.\n4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.\n5. You should customize your objective to fit the specific job.  A good idea is to look at the job description and show how your objective is a good fit for the job you are applying.  If you are applying for jobs at a company in general, customize your objective to the types of jobs you would be interested in for that company.\n6. There is no one “correct” format.  It depends on your profession and personal style.\n7. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

Not much, unless you have other experience to apply with the resume.  Talk to the school where you graduated and ask them, they should know better than anyone else.
