How Does Pampered Chef Fit on Your Resume?

[linojackie]

Ok, so while I love this biz, I am thinking I am ready to go back to work. I've been at home for 3 years now with my girls and I need something during the day. I need to update my resume and I figured that I should at least show something for the last 3 years of my life. Besides, I think I've learned more skills career-wise in my 2 years w/ PC than all my jobs combined. So, do you include PC on your resume? If so, what do you say?

When I applied for a job last year I did not put it on there at all. But then I had my other jobs on my resumes.

don't forget to list your accomplishments, such as "grew sales 50% in one year, coach a team of 5 consultants' etc.

it's good to list what you can do, and great to list what you have done

if you like i would be happy to review your resume. e-mail it to me at [email protected]

I do like to list accomplishments as well. Feel like it gives me an edge over the other 5 million Executive Assistants applying for the same job! I would also like to mention that I have a team underneath me that I train and motivate as I have never been in a supervisor position before.


Thank you Susan, I appreciate the offer. Once I get it tweaked a little, I'll send it over.

Thanks!

OMG - you definitely need to play up your team leader role and accomplishments. Use words like coach, mentor, strategized, enabled team members to reach their financial goals....
