Hi B.,
In my job I review resumes all day every day so I have a few suggestions for you....
Like the last person said you just want to list your job and the job duties under it. Make sure you have an opening paragraph that highlights your attributes (excellent communication skills, advanced skills with Word, Excel...etc) List your education and your major. List where you volunteer or any hobbies you have. Put at the bottom that references are available at request. Make it clean and to the point.
When it comes to your old job don't worry too much. It is against the law for your old job to say anything really bad about you. Pretty much all they can do is verify employment dates and that you actually worked there. If they want references then give them someone’s name that that you still get a long with as a work reference and not necessarily your boss.
One more tip...when explaining your gap in employment put that you were job hunting after being laid off...that sounds better then saying that you were at SAHM.
Good luck!!
