Growing up, my mom was a SAHM. She and my dad divorced a few years ago (not sure when exactly, it took YEARS to settle). She eventually landed an hourly job at Kroger. After working there for about a year she saw an ad for a job as an assistant bakery manager. She inquired about it and was told it had already been assigned.
I told her to submit her resume anyway. Then sat down with her and helped her go over her resume, using things she did as a SAHM to display her business/management skills (working as a scout leader, band volunteer, etc). She submitted the resume - and got hired as a manager in a position that wasn't even open! I haven't been able to do much to further my own career for the time being, but I'm glad I was able to help her.
