Where can I get a CV template for a mother returning to work?

[flirtygirty]

I am a mother who is looking to return to work and I need to seriously
up-date my CV. I am looking for a template which is appropriate to someone
who has been out of work for a decade (or more!) but is a graduate and has
undertaken further training whilst bringing up my family.
Can anyone help?

Search on some of the career sites. You're looking for content and job
hunting hints. This newsgroup doesn't deal with either issue.

I'm sorry, but I understood this to ge a "general" questions newsgroup for
Word???
CV templates are a word aspect, and i wasn't asking for job hunting hints,
just a template. SO your reply was completely unhelpful and vaguely
patronising.

You took the question out of the realm of a "general" one when you specified
that the template you wanted was for "someone who has been out of work for a
decade (or more!) but is a graduate and has undertaken further training
whilst bringing up my family." If you can't find anything in the
Microsoft-hosted template gallery at
http://office.microsoft.com/templates/default.aspx?, then JoAnn's advice is
relevant. And FWIW, it comes from someone who has recently been in the job
market and has found a good position.

We get a lot of questions about "templates," and in most cases it is content
that users are interested in rather than formatting, which is all a template
is designed to provide.

Funny thing is that my resume isn't much to look at formatting-wise. It's
really basic. No fancy fonts, no graphics - just Times New Roman and a few
tables. I wasn't selling how prettily how I could format a Word doc - I was
selling my skills. And I did good job of it too. I'm a happy camper!
