[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 544122, member: 11791"] Lisa... Those gaps? For the two jobs you "really" want? It's ALL in how you word it. Play up Travis' disability to the absolute hilt. You have extensive experience dealing with people who need exceptional care. The fact you didn't get paid for it means nothing. You were not "just" a stay at home mom. Play up your own (miraculous, but don't use that word) turn-around from a disabling accident. You understand pain. You understand on so many fronts. Play up your own experience with kidney problems, and the kindness and empathy that only come with it. --- For example, I know a stay at home mom who did NOT have kids with disabilites... but chose to home-school. Then went through and got her TA ticket... and turned 12 years of home-schooling into "12 years of experience". She was asked about it in the interview... how can you have 12 years of experience when you just got your ticket? (it was already explained on resume, it was a reality check)... and yes, 12 years of homeschooling 4 kids = 12 years of TA experience and them some. [/QUOTE]
