HS grad asked me to help her put together a resume. she has a younger sibling who has special needs and she has been very involved in the sibling's care. how would you put this? i think it's misleading to say "worked with a SN child". what about "exposure to..."? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

OP: how about this? instead of an experience or skills section, i put a section called "experience and exposure" and then put special ed experience and then childcare experience (babysitting, tutoring, etc). that way i don't have to put job titles. [ Reply | More

it's a little odd on a resume. I think I would put something like that only if it explained a significant gap in employment. Can she put it in a cover letter, if it's relevant to the job she's applying for? [ Reply | More

she just graduated from high school. she doesn't have much other work experience other than volunteer work and daycamp counselor. she's trying to work in special ed and i think it's good for her to show that she's had some exposure to it. [ Reply | More

East... don't list it in work experience. Just create a second "area" (not like she's at risk of going to two pages) and call that "Other Experience." There she can bullet point being caregiver. Then just coach her on how to deal with this in an interview. It will come up. If she has any affiliation with a support group, that could go in there too. [ Reply | More
