I don't know what to do in creating a resume. I have had 21 jobs, and I am 25 years old. I haven't worked all of 2006. I am now married and have a 3 year old and a adopted 15year old. I really need to go back to work to help out financially and also to get out of the house. I feel like this is serious times and I need a job to support my kids. I guess you would say I'm more serious about work then I ever have been. Most of my Jobs lasted 2 days to 3 years. I don't really know how to put that on a resume. I also am stuck because before I had my kids I had 2 jobs most of the time. That is why some jobs were so short. If I didn't like it I just quit because I knew I had one to fall back on. If you or anyone has suggestions please let me know what to do. Thank You!
