Put yourself in the employer's shoes and think about what that person is looking for. True they are looking for experience, but many are willing to overlook lack of experience to get their hands on an eager, dependable, hard worker. Skills can be taught, but personality traits cannot. Emphasize what skills you DO have, not what you don't. Cover letters are a good place to be a little personal, to speak to the employer and get them to see a part of you that is not in your resume.

Another thing to "highlight" is that as a Home Maker, you didn't have support staff to back you up, you "did it all". Competence and decision-making are NOT solely found in a business setting.........It happens at home too!!!.

Is it wrong to use resume templates when putting together a professional resume?

There is nothing wrong with using a resume template as a starting point when creating a professional resume. A resume template provides a good basic outline and general guidelines of what your resume should include. However, you should never simply copy the resume template. The key is to customize it. A resume should have a clear focus that reflects both the specific job you are applying for and how your skills and talents are a good fit for the position.
