HELP!
I know I can get format advice online, but the very last job I was at was a University in the College of Medicine. Their policy is to give a yes she worked here answer. I left in 2000 when I gave birth to twins. I was there for 4 years. I can remember enough about that job to give a good overview of my duties.
Both companies i worked for prior to the college have gone out of business. What is the protocol for listing those? I mean for all they know, I could be making them up!
I am only looking for part time work. If a resume is requested, could I use a letter of introduction instead?
Thanks for any help!

I'd go with a resume. Anything other than what they request is likely to get tossed. List all your jobs. Chances are even if they were in business, no one would be able to do more than verify you worked there. List any volunteer work you have done since.

I listed everything truthfully even tho some of the people I had worked for ( individual practices ) were dead! I don't car I can't help that.
I also didn't creat semi appropriate work 'duties' or 'skills' for all of my volunteer stuff. It seemed silly to me to try to pull that off. Even though the resumes experts all said it was fine.
Best of luck to you.

I agree that I would list volunteer work (and maybe add how many hours per week you averaged) but I wouldn't do too much of pumping up the duties, because it is easy to see through most of that.
I would add the different jobs you had even if they were a long time ago. Especially if they show an increasing path of responsibility and promotions of positions.
I do think you need at least a basic resume if you are going for any type of professional position. Probably not so much if you want to work retail/service/counter type work.
