Lisa, I appreciated your sharing your resume formats with us. The
Activities section sounds like a winner. I did something similar with my
resume. Because I have been primarily a homemaker over the last 25-30
years, I had almost no work experience to include. I did, however, have
extensive volunteer experience--and many skills that were developed in
that forum. I created a resume that focused on the skills. Now that I am
nearing the completion of my MA, I am working to revise the resume to
include new skills and experience gained during the past two years. I
suspect something that resembles your Activities list would serve me well,
also.
