Dust off the old resume

I was recently approached about taking on a full-time sort of paying job again.  I'm seriously considering the position. However, I don't want to turn in my resume until I know the status with this new pediatric rheumatologist we're taking Munchkin #2 to today.  If I'm going to have to head to the home country 4 times a year, there's no way I can work a full-time job. Plus, being a woman already in the country on a visa, employers think they can get away with paying way less than you are worth. Women getting low pay is a massive issue across the region.

It's interesting going through one's old resume.  Frankly,  there's stuff on there I had forgotten I'd done. I remember a time in my life when I struggled to fill a one page resume with anything meaningful.  Now, it's a struggle to keep it down to two pages.  And, how do you decide what parts of your life to delete and what not to delete?  Those 2 years you spent volunteering with low-income kids? Gone? Delete?

So much of what's really important to me, I can't put on a resume.  I'm a wife and a mom.  I get my kids to all their appointments and activities.  I keep a large house humming along and in good order. I'm a daughter, a cousin, a friend. 

I'll know after this afternoon if I'm sending that resume.  Who knows, maybe the job is already filled.

Peace.
