explain why you weren't working
Someone who was self employed on a ranch can still write an outstanding resume. The work experience section would state the years worked on the ranch and would explicitly list the skills and traits used in the work, such as self-motivated, dedicated, and detail oriented.
Yes
I should be so lucky as to have a resume like yours! You have a wonderful opportunity to expand on so very many skills! This is just like the housewife of 20 years saying "how do I write a resume". Well, my answer would be to get on-line and find a good sample resume...then, elaborate on the skills that made your self-employment so very successful for 20 years (i.e., accounts receivables, customer satisfaction, paying for equipment/supplies, long work hours, employees?, payroll, product satisfaction, etc., etc. Your list is probably longer than any of us! Many times small business owners overlook the complexity of what they do for a living. You probably have intangible skills that nothing but "living life" will develop, (i.e., patience, understanding, motivation, inspiration, encouragement, anticipation, goals, desires, etc.). I certainly wouldn't underestimate your abilities to accomplish any task that you may seek.
The abbreviation for the word "association" just so happens to be the first five letters that you find in this particular word, which is "assoc."

There are more than two. For someone starting out, the traditional, education and experience type is best. List all your scholastic accomplishments and the experience you gained from any jobs you had while you were studying. If you are older and have been employed before and it has been quite a few years since college, the functional resume is the better form. This allows you to state what you have done and what you can bring to the table, as is said. You list your accomplishments and how you came about to being a productive member of the organizations you have worked for.
If a person is self-employed there are expenses and allowances that can be claimed to reduce the amount of income tax paid. These expenses can be claimed for the current tax year and the previous four years.
Over a twenty year period, you have become an expert on crop rotation, animal breeding, finances, weather forcasting, community and school district relationships, politics and a responsible neighbor.
Resume objectives are very specific terms or keywords that can highlight your work experience. One great way to compose a resume objective is to mirror words or phrases that are included in the job posting you are responding to. Use action verbs, not passive vague terms.
