I've been gone awhile but im back and am eager to prove myself and earn my way

The environment, the surroundings, the ideas the residences. Me personally i love art it drives me and here at the Omni its all art and ideas i i truely believe i was hired for a reason. The Residences that stay here in the condos they have so much life and information that i wouldn't find anywhere else to grow in the life i have envisioned. I stayed at the omni and will stay because it is a life experience like none other. The money will come but knkwledge and wisdom from my surroundings are far more valuable.

I am looking for a position in any field now that my youngest of 3 children has entered middle school. I enjoy everything! I just need ONE employor to give me a chance to prove I am the right candidate for any position that has room to advance with no experience or training.

I was told by a previous employer that the way to advance and break into higher paying jobs was to get a masters degree. Now that I have, I feel like it might have been a waste since no one wants to pay you for it.

 To all jobcase  comment posters,
 I have a suggestion to all of you that are wanting a job.  LOOK INTO ATTENDING YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR A CERTAIN LEVEL OF NEW EDUCATION THAT COULD GET YOU A NEWER, MORE PLEASURABLE JOB.  a lot of community colleges have classes that will fit a personal schedule, as well as a work schedule, if you had one, too.  I had 2 1/2 years of community college paid for completely by government grants.  When I went to apply to a particular local four-year college, they accepted about 95% of my academic credits, but four year college isn't for all people.  Now with the new job I start this coming Monday, I can save up for bills, maybe find a new place to stay closer to work, and apply for college later down the road.  in community college, there are a lot of older people doing the same thing, getting better education to maybe help them get a new job.  Plus, you would meet new people that could develop into new friends.
 You guys need to examine all possibilities of doing things for yourself that aren't related to work, such as going back to school.  It may help in the long run.

I am a 52 year old female and I have large gaps in my employment history because of health issues. My question is this. If my resume should only go back ten years and that only leaves me with one position that I held for three years but doesn't cover my management, recruiting and customer service experience how is that helpful. I claim that I have 20+ years of experience in customer service and management but if I only go back ten years then it's not on there. My three years was as a sales person and business owner but I'm not going for those kinds of jobs.

I have not worked since 2007 because of a health issue but although I am not cured I am better and feel I can hold down a part-time job. I don't want sales, I want customer service entry-level. My husband is the breadwinner but I would like to help out some.

What do I put on resume to show my experience? Right now it goes back to 1993 and that's not my first job. I also have my high school date on there. Should I just eliminate that all together? What if I list all my jobs but just leave the dates off? I am getting response to my resume and phone interviews and even a couple offers but they are not what I want to do. Doesn't anybody do interviews face to face anymore? I interview extremely well. Now it's either over the phone, via email or Google Hangouts which is the most impersonal way to interview that I've ever seen.

So after all this blather what I am seeking advice for is how do I justify my experience if my resume doesn't go far enough back to show it. Should I list it all and just leave off the dates and should I eliminate my high school and dates off? Right now I have 6 different resumes I use and probably 50 different cover letters. I apply to quite a few jobs every day and I get some interest but even though I only want part-time entry level I find after asking a couple pointed questions that the position isn't for me.

I have read quite a few posts where they feel age is a factor. I agree. I had a 20 something who does the hiring for his company tell me that he won't even interview someone he feels may be over 35. He says he can get an idea based on the positions they've held and how many there were. He says this is because we as mature adults are too demanding in our benefits and wages, are not as technology smart as our younger counterparts, are unwilling/unable to learn new things and have trouble taking direction from people younger than ourselves. Well I don't know about any of you but I don't want benefits or high wages right now. I am always willing and able to learn new things, know how to follow directions and if you ask my sons' and their friends they'd say I have no trouble with millennials either. What I do offer is a good work ethic, practical and real world experience, diversity and most of all I offer dedication and loyalty something that our youth (and I know because I have two sons in their 20's) lacks.

So if any of you can help me with my resume dilemma I'd appreciate it. I used to think I knew what employers were looking for because I used to be one but after reading different articles and posts I guess I'm not sure. I hope all of you are experiencing some good luck in your job hunts. I read posts daily and if I ever have any words of wisdom I will share. Thank you y'all.

Need a career tired of all these temp jobs, Still waiting for jobs I applied for in June. Georgenieves70@gmail.com

I am not happy in my current position. I have been there for over 8 years. If I get an interview and they ask why are you looking for another job . What do I say?

I began working for CVS when I was 15. I was a part time cashier. As I got older, I worked more hours. Eventually I moved over to the photolab where I excelled. I became a Photo Lab Supervisor by the time I was 18. I enjoyed the photo lab. It was an experience working on different photo printing machines. A short while later, I was moved back over to the "other side" and promoted to a Shift Supervisor. I handled many aspects to enclude payroll, stock control and inventories. I transferred to six store locations over seven years due to relocations. I gained a lot of knowledge about the company and the different areas within it. I grew as a person with this company and I truly miss it.
