Give Yourself Credit

Hi Kelly... Sorry for the delay in answering (I'm getting married and have been a bit tied up with arrangements!). But you definitely want to put your receptionist job on your resume. Believe me, employers know about the recession and how hard it is to find a job in your field. They know because they're rejecting hundreds of applicants for every available position.

So show what you HAVE been doing. It demonstrates your work ethic and there will always be transferable skills from any job, such as organizational skills, communication skills, etc.

Good luck!
