I'm applying to a graduate program starting in the Spring and am tasked with writing a resume and I'm not sure exactly how to approach it. It's an Educational Counseling M.A.Ed and I do not have any applicable experience to list. I was laid off during the beginning of the pandemic and spent the past year and a half caring for my kids while they attended online school. Just this past Summer, we moved to a new city and the kids have gone back to school in person, but my wife and I thought it best for me to continue staying at home to make sure their transition went smoothly. Unfortunately, that's 2 years gone that I could have been bolstering my experience while finishing my BA. I do have some applicable coursework but not much else besides. The admissions advisor said the resume isn't that important compared to references and a 5 page autobiographical paper, but I still don't want it to be a deciding factor against me.
