Resume help needed
in 9 to 5
I have a year in my work history that I worked 'as needed' due to building a house, getting married, life, etc.
Do I explain that in a cover letter or within the space one describes work responsibilities?
It looks odd that I had this role for a year when looking at work history.
TIA
Re: Resume help needed
It is PRN. My question is more should I explain why I only worked prn as opposed to full/PT?
Let the employer ask you. You don't need to justify or explain length or PT vs. FT on a resume. Whether you worked PT or FT you have X years experience. Emphasize that in your cover letter that you've been consistently employed in such-and-such field. The reasons you listed for this job being "as needed" are personal reasons that an employer doesn't need to know about.
Was the time you worked "as needed" with an employer that you also worked for full-time at one point? If that's the case, you don't need to even list it as a separate "job." Your resume should showcase your experiences but not get hung up on details like paid/unpaid, PT/FT, etc. Just create your resume and cover letter in a way that shows the employer that you have relevant experience and transferable skills
