Default What to do if you don't have a resume ?

I worked in adult for several years in marketing and sales , the companies I worked with , some are now defunct , others are hanging by a thread and no longer worthy of my traffic so they have my efforts pulled . I had a good run with it and wish it would come back but I don't foresee it happening. I have experience in CS and sales , but that was many years ago , I did well then on the phone . I just don't know how to fill out a resume at this point . I am not interested in MLM or parties , I am interested in a steady paycheck . Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Have you taken a look at this thread? Maybe it will offer some advice that could help you:

Resume Tips and Tricks

I applied with Arise (call center work from home) and they don't require a resume, however there are some costs involved because you are an independent contractor.

I think Happy2BeHome gave you some great advice.

If you don't have a resume, it might be worth spending some time to put one together. Even if a company/site closed, it should still count as relevant work experience.

When you did adult work, were you an independent contractor? If you were, you can list yourself as such. Everything you did in that industry is job experience. List every responsibility of every position and go from there.

There are great sites out there which provide formats, advice, and, for a fee, professional resume writing services.

I would check out SmartChic. I haven't used her service myself but I have seen rave reviews on this board and over at Workplace Like Home.
