Mom re-entering the Workforce

After being a full-time mom for four years, Chris Montoya felt she was ready to go back into the workforce in November 2009. She had filled three of her unemployed years with volunteer work (in addition to parenting), and wanted to continue in a nonprofit environment, this time for pay. The following functional resume showed off her relevant achievements in the body of the resume, and referred to her volunteerism and parenting in her Work History section.
