Learn HOW TO WRITE A RESUME : HOW TO WRITE A COVER LETTER : HOW TO LAND A JOB
How would you write a resume if you never had a job before?

I’m an amateur when it comes to jobs. I’m applying for one right now, and everyone tells me a resume would be beneficial. What’s the form for a resume? what should I include if I’ve never had any job experience yet? anyone know any good sites?

    objective and education

  2. It's a secret says:

    Include your education, any volunteer work you have done and interests. Try to keep the interests to only 2 or three.

    highlight whatever you think would be helpful in the employer determining you’re ability to do the job and just make it look professional. The effort will count more than what’s on there if its your first job.

    I just googled “resumes” and a bunch of interesting sites came up — check those out.

    Since you haven’t worked, I’ll assume you are still in high school or a recent high school grad.

    In that case, include:

    Employment objective
    Education
    Leadership and extracurricular activities
    Volunteer experiences
    Special skills and abilities
    Hobbies and interests

    if you have little or no job experience, a good cover letter would be more important than the resume itself. be positive and sell yourself. say that you have little experience, but are very willing to learn and that you would work very hard to meet their expectations.

    *
    Anticipate questions the employer will ask and develop answers.
    *
    Devise questions to ask in your turn. Don’t hesitate to inquire about drawbacks of the position. Every position has drawbacks.
    *
    Have someone conduct a practice interview with you.
    *
    Don’t worry too much about nervousness. It’s normal and usually helpful, since it can spur your quickness, memory, and resourcefulness.
    *
    In the interview, focus on how you can help the company, not on how it can help you.
    *
    Don’t offer negative information about yourself or criticize prior employers.
    *
    Listen. Concentrate on what the interviewer is saying.
    *
    Seek common ground. If possible, do pre-interview research to see what the interviewer likes and doesn’t like.
    *
    Express interest in the position. Make your motivation plain.
