Now that you have your skills listed, you should be pretty proud of yourself. Sometimes making a list of your attributes is hardest part. We should all know what year we graduated and when we finally got nerve to resign from that dreaded 9-5 office position.

Next, I would recommend making a list of all previous positions with your job title as well as a brief description. Make sure that you use some "key words" that will easily grab attention of eyes scanning your resume. If you don't have a solid work history , I would recommend a functional resume format. The functional format highlights your skills rather than time line of your work history.

Remember to see your resume as a marketing tool. On a billboard you only get a few key words to catch attention of traffic speeding by. Your resume needs to serve same purpose. It needs to spark interest of potential employer so that they will want to know more about you and your assets. That is how you land interview.

Spiritual Awakening You may find that changes you are making lead you to an awakening spiritually. This happens to many women who welcome this growth. Seek out your local church, take classes in meditation, discover new spiritual thought, or a renewed connection with God. You are a spirit with a body. Approaching your spiritual wellness includes making choices that take care of yourself physically and emotionally.

Proactive Steps Although menopause is one of important physical milestones in a woman's life, many women lack concrete information about what is taking place, and what are options. It is your right to know your body and be informed. With a proper attitude, diet, nutritional supplements, exercise, and simple lifestyle changes, most of unpleasant side effects of menopause can be minimized to a great extent. With this knowledge and preparation you can step forward with grace and embrace it! To make menopause fun and pleasant: ŸMake choices to eliminate/reduce stress. ŸCreate a sanctuary space for yourself where you can meditate, write, draw, or anything that expresses your thoughts and emotions. ŸFind an exercise you like and stick with it. ŸEvaluate diet and reduce weight, if you have gained pounds over years. ŸBecome selfish with your time for yourself. Do more things for you and evaluate care-giving roles. ŸGet enough rest and sleep. ŸDevelop an outside interest or hobby. ŸHave joy and fun in your life. If this means making new friends, go do it.
