Leave it blank or add in Stay-at-home mom in my resume?
Ok. I have been off the market for about 2 years after I quit my job in June 2011 to take care of my son at home.

I plan to go back to work, most probably in June next year. Well, I am sending my son to Montessori in March 2013 and will start to look for a job by then.

What is the best thing to put in my resume for the period of time when I have not been working? Should I elaborate on what I did as a Stay-at-home mom or just mention that I have been off the market to take care of my son?

In case you want to now the reason I quit to stay at home:

The reason I quit was because I could not juggle between work and family. I spent more time at work and did not have a good relationship with my son. I did not know how to take care of him and was even terrified if my husband leave me alone with my son, even at time. I was just bad at handling babies and my husband was totally the opposite.

Well, when I saw that the relationship between my son and I got from bad to worse (he refuse to go home when I pick him up from his nanny's), I told myself that I need do something about it. That was when I decided to quit my job and be a stay-at-home mom.

The first 2 months was hell for both of us but things got better. Now, we have a very good relationship. I would love to continue to take care of him but on the other hand, I think it is time for him to learn to be independent and start having a social life.

And I loved my job. I could return to my previous job but we have plans to move to a different place so I need to get a new job.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Your résumé is one of the most important tools you have when looking for a job. This site will help you choose the right type of résumé for your situation. It will also provide you with tips to help you tailor your résumé to the job you’re applying for, and to make sure it stands out in a crowd for all the right reasons. http://www.resumewritingservicesreviews.net/

Highlight abilities, skills, and experience that relate to the job you're applying for. These can come from paid or unpaid work, volunteer experience, and even hobbies.

You may also want to include your job goals, the languages you speak, or any relevant achievements or awards. You can also include interests or activities that say something positive about you. Don’t forget, however, that the point of your résumé is to show why you are the right person for the job. Just remember to keep it concise, with the most important information at the top.
