Intro:
It’s time for your first job hunt! :)
You could get frustrated occasionally after reading a job posting. It seems like every business wants applicants with at least 10 years of experience who are under 25! How’s that even possible?!
Don’t worry — we’ll show you that it’s possible to write an impressive resume with no experience!
Main Body:
Let’s dive in!
You don’t know where to start, what to include, or which resume format to choose. It’s all okay :)
This is the most common situation that people with no work experience face:
- I need a job to get experience, but I need experience to get a job.
No matter if you need a high-school student resume with no work experience, or you’re older but have no meaningful career yet — you’ll learn how to make a resume with no experience in just a few minutes.
In this blog, we’ll show you what you need:
1. Include a summary statement
2. Emphasize Your Education
3. Volunteering Experience
4. Skills
5. Extracurricular activities
1.Include a summary statement
Your summary statement should be three to five lines describing your strengths, the position/industry you are seeking, and what you will bring to the job.
2. Emphasize Your Education
When deciding on content, be honest and strategic. Include important pieces of your ongoing education that are relevant to the position.
3. Volunteering Experience
If you had a unique volunteer experience that was not necessarily relevant to the job you are applying for, you can still include the volunteer experience on a resume. Instead of listing it under ‘’Work Experience’’, create a new section for ‘’Volunteer Experience’’
4. Skills
Best Things to Put on a Resume When You Have No Experience:
● Key skills you’ve learned in school and other experiences.
● Education and academic achievements.
● Classes, training and certifications.
● Personal or academic projects relevant to the job
5. Extracurricular activities
Think Outside the Box :)
Are you sure you don’t have any extracurricular activities? We will show you one of the best examples:
● Foreign Languages.
● Student Council
● Peer Tutoring
● Studying Abroad
● Fundraising and etc.
