Please hire my wife

Tomorrow, Amanda will have been unemployed for three months.
So far, she’s applied for at least 50 jobs. She’s interviewed for five.
So far, no one has chosen to hire her.
Here’s what the top of her resume says and what employers are missing:
“Flexible, creative, skilled in problem solving, able to learn complex tasks quickly.
Hard working team player with great communication skills and a professional attitude.”
She’s a talented woman who freely gives of time and money to help others and is a fantastic mother who wants to use her abilities outside the home and provide needed additional income.
Her talents include, but are not limited to broad computer literacy, organization and filing of documents and multi-tasking. She is skilled in arranging PowerPoint presentations and using the Internet to communicate. She also is very familiar with the Microsoft's Office suite and Publisher program.
She is conversational in German and holds a political science undergraduate degree with a concentration in international relations.
Amanda is also very adept at using the English language, both in written and verbal form. Plus, she has a creative bent – she can paint, take good photographs, knows her way around a piano and a guitar and can sing.
She would prefer to work for organizations whose missions are service-oriented, such as educational institutions, but will be glad to use her talents and skills where they are most needed. She is looking for full-time work with benefits, to include health insurance.
If any of these skills and traits sound good to you and you are an employer in the Golden Triangle region of Mississippi, please write Amanda at praisechick @ gmail.com.
