Homemaker Cover Letter

Many so called "Housewives" are returning to the workforce in these economically troubled times. This leaves them needing a quality homemaker cover letter to submit with their resume. But this can be problematic.

A Good Homemaker Cover Letter Proves Your Worth

It feels as though the actual value of the stay at home mom is far more than we could ever replace with hired individuals. Contrary to popular belief, the economic value of a homemaker is approximately $30,000 per year. But many people are finding they would still come out financially ahead with the stay-at-home spouse returning to work.

Some people will add up all the wages and money they would pay out to various outside people and places, a maid, an accountant, eating out, new clothing etc and use that to argue that it would cost more to send the homemaker back to work than it does to currently keep her home. However, in these unstable times, having two working people in the family is a built in safety net for layoffs.

This means an excellent homemaker cover letter is needed to showcase value and skills that may other wise be less obvious in a resume; especially a resume with an employment gap.

Homemaker Cover Letter MUST Explain Employment Gap

It is important to make sure that your homemaker cover letter make use of the free-prose style to highlight the skills and value you have acquired during your employment gap.

The high levels of organization and self-management are unlike any other job. You may have volunteered for bake sales or school functions and spent 40 plus hours a week working on the project.

Then there is the enormous task of getting a family up and ready for their day, every day, without much (if any) help. You had no support staff!

You were also a full time meal-planner and chef. The family bookkeeper. The laundress and maid. Running a household is far from being "unemployed." Your homemaker cover letter should accurately depict your time and efforts.

“Even a single error or typo can discredit you instantly.”

A Homemaker Cover Letter Must Be Perfect

This is really the key. Too many harried busy homemakers are not as careful as they once were with proof reading their work. But even a single error or typo can discredit you instantly.

Imagine a potential employer reading your homemaker cover letter.

-He is already skeptical because he can see from your resume you have been out of the work place "raising babies" for x number of years.

-He thinks of you as an unlikely candidate because your skills are out of date and possibly seem irrelevant to the job.

-But reading the homemaker cover letter he is in fact engaged, and reads on.

-Until, he reads a major typo or error. UH-OH.

Where do you think that homemaker cover letter and resume is going to go? That's right, to the back of the file cabinet.
