I need help...

At the risk of looking totally pathetic I'm going to go ahead and ask you ladies for advice. I'm working on updating my resume...I need to find a job ASAP and it's been an odd several years. I've mostly worked seasonal positions for the last few years and been a full time student/homemaker. Plus we moved a lot. So as far as my "work history" is concerned, it doesn't look so great on paper. My degree is a career change and so I have no real experience in the field of work that I am looking for. What I did in the military is similar, but not the exact same thing. My question is this: For the work history should I include only the experience in the military or all of my previous work...and if I include all...what do I do about the gaps in between. Help!

maybe?....

Just finished applying for a gazillion different clerical positions at the hospitals in the area....will one of them work out for me....maybe?! Hope so. Seems like they always post them on the website and then hire from within?! Wouldn't it be smarter to just post them for the current hospital employees first elsewhere and then for the general public after the current employees have had their chance...this way the general public doesn't get their hopes up and then find out after all that time and effort applying that they "hired from within" once again?! Am I wrong? The joys of job hunting!
