Re: Top of Resume, Stating reason for 3 year gap in Employment.

Saturdays are slow, David. We have real lives here - softball games, trips to Sears, battling the grocery store. Don't get too upset if we take a few hours to respond.

Are you looking for help on the paragraph about your gap? Don't put that on your resume! It is WAY to much information for any propsective employer to hear. Simply mention something about returning to the workforce in your cover letter. 3 years is not something that sounds like "got fired - couldn't find a new job."

Your grammar is fine, but I don't like the "and more so" part. I'm also not sure if you should have a "the" before "clientele." Lastly, I would not capitalize adminstrative/financial.

I presume it's "in" that fits best in the above sample, but in our language, it's the other way around. We use to/towards/toward in this similar context, but never "in." So I wonder if you can dig up a reason or two for this unique usage.

'in' is correct. I don't think there's a reason for it.

Thanks, Yoong.

What about the following? If I replace "direction" with "store," then the preposition "in" is also changed. Nevertheless, in Chinese, we use the same preposition in this case.

They went to/towards/toward that store.

Hi,

Playing tennis is her favorite sport/s.

I presume sports is the right word in the above sample, but in truth "sport' is used instead. That confuses me a lot. Could you tell me why it's sport instead of sports in the above?

Say 'sport' when you are talking about one specific activity. eg

Tennis is her favourite sport. Baseball and soccer are his favourite sports.

With regard to your example, say it this way. Playing tennis is her favorite activity/pastime. Tennis is her favourite sport.

Thanks, Clive, for the correction.

I think your suggestions make more sense than the original.

But I still don't know why it's sport instead of sports. What are the differences between these two words? How to use them right?

I presume both for and of fit in the above sample but convey differing ideas. Your advice? Thanks.
