If I havent had a 'real' job for over a year, but have occasionally done some freelance PC repairs to make money on the side, should I list on my resume that I have been doing freelance work for the past year?

Absolutely, it shows that you have ambition, initiative and drive and the ability to follow through on a job independently. As a recruiter I would put that resume on the top of the pile.

Yes, you should put this. I would not term it "freelance", though. I would put it down as "consulting". Hiring companies don't like to see gaps in your employment history. But you will have to have a good reason why you did consulting over this time. Good luck
