Just because you weren't paid does not mean you have no experience. Volunteer work is work.  \n\nList it if it is relevant, if it won't raise eyebrows,  if you have been there a long time, AND you have concrete skills that you gained from the experience.  \n\nStuffing envelopes or holding banners at rally's might not something you want to list unless you are going for a receptionist / crossing guard type position.  However, if you are going for the position of bookkeeper and you sat on the board of a non-profit and helped with the budget, that could be relevant. If you have been volunteering someplace in a real capacity, list it.

As an employer I distinctly prefer one page resumes. Be succint and make it one page.

A resume would state why you are appyling for the job, your previous experience etc. \n\nA profile is more personal info about you and would include, among other things, any issues the employer would need to be notified of such as allergies or disabilities (this would be important depending on what type of work youre doing)

I think you mean Resume.  Monster.com or careerbuilder.com have some good resources.

Depends on your application.  Try both, and see which one suits you best.

I think June is certainly the most commonly used icon to represent that type of parenting. \n\nI absolutely know that you can work and be a good mother.  Staying at home doesn't guarantee anything.

The term 'Stay at Home Mom" didn't come about until women who had jobs & children started re-evaluating their priorities and decided they should stay at home, and get along with less family income, epecially if the reduction was not that much when transportation costs & childcare were figured in.  So this term came about to show differentiation between a work outside of the home Mom.. vs stay at home Mom. \nUp until the late 80's-early 90's "housewife" indicated all married women who took care of their homes with or without kids. They all work.. at a formal job, or in the home.. or both.

I prefer Monster because it has a more intuitive interface and you are able to sort and search for jobs with more criteria. However I agree with the statements above in that you should not really choose but use both, they both have distinct features and benefits, no reason to short hand yourself. \n\nI have included a few links that include other job search engines that you may be interested in. Also, try each states job bank, just search for "state name job bank", those can be especially useful and the jobs posted are much more formal.

resume writing can be tricky because not only is it important to be detailed when describing skills and work experience, but it is also advantageous to balance this with brevity. be concise and to the point while packing your resume full of key information that presents your strengths as a candidate for employment.<br />\nkeep it simple, and make sure that formatting doesn't take away from a neatly streamlined and cogent resume.<br />\nbelow is a link to hotjobs' resume tips, which i found extremely helpful in this process.

I prefer a strictly chronological resume. You can add the relevant skills under each temp employer, but I like to know in what capacity and where these skills were put to use. The skills are much more meaningful when you can associate them with a particular job or assignment.

more important than resumes actually.  they let you state, in your own words, why you think you are best for the job and get you into an interview.  resumes are so technical and formatted, you have no idea who a person really is.  they show no personality, like a cover letter can.  \n\nhope that helps.

Not always.  But it's usually better to have a cover letter describing what kind of job you're looking for, why you are applying, what your goals are etc.  This type of information cannot be conveyed with a resume alone.  If you are the recruiter and you have two sets of application for a job, one with a cover letter, one weithout.  Both have equal qualifications.  You would probably look at the one with a cover letter first because you can do less work.  You don't have to follow up to get the most basic info.

I used to be a healthcare recruiter for a hospital and the resume that were on "Professional" resume paper really stood out from the rest.  You can purchase this type of paper at retail stores like office max or staples.  There is a section in the store for resume papers.  \n\nI would also recommend using a beige or cream colored professional paper for your resume.  That way, your resume will stand out from other white colored papers and it will look extrememly professional to an employer.  Good luck on your interviews!

Here are some good resume examples.  You can decide which format works best for you AND see how other people use the various formats to highlight certain aspects of their background (education, work experience, accomplishments).\n\nThe format you use really depends on what you want to focus your resume on.
