Sometimes I'm stupider than others.

The manager was looking over my resume' yesterday and asked, "So you got your license and haven't done anything with it?"

And I had to say, "Oh, I have an office in Monett I've been working in."

WHY did I NOT put that on my resume'?

I'll put that in work experience, I'm certain....but how to explain it, precisely?

It's a common mistake. So often when we do self-employed stuff we don't think to list it because we have no boss or superior for a prospective employer to call for a reference.

Also, i'm moderately annoyed b/c I am JUST managing to keep it to one page without this -- I'll certainly be over the one-page goal if I include it, unless I leave out something I've previously been taught to consider vital.

Please slap me now before I get stuck back in the "I mean, we're just girls, right? What we do on our own doesn't count for anything" mindset.

For 2 and a half years, I had a job that was to help people get jobs. Part of that was helping write resumes. If you want to email yours to me, I'd be glad to take a look at it!

Oh YES please! What address should I send it to?
