What do you put on your resume if you’ve never done anything before
Definitely focus on skills, reliability, education, activities, and willingness to learn rather than work history. A one page resume is enough; I promise!
@𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 what do you mean by activities? If you don’t mind responding
@Donnie’s groovy glasses Yeah of course! I just mean things you've participated in outside regular classes that show useful qualities, even if they weren't paid jobs!
I used to work in the retail industry as a Store Manager, and I was always willing to extend the olive branch to kids who put real effort into their resume, even if they didn’t have any work experience yet.
Managers love seeing things like school activities: are you on the honor roll? On the volleyball team? In choir? Things like that show that you’re involved and committed. They also like to see volunteer hours, whether they’re through school or outside of it. Have you babysat? Helped a neighbour? Done anything else that shows responsibility?
Things like that are more than enough to work with, especially when you’re just starting out.
SIDE NOTE: Try keeping your resume to 1 full page and try not to exceed more than 2 full pages. As you collect more experience you can tailor your resume for the jobs you are applying too.
GOOD LUCK✨♥
@kaylvang 𓍢ִ໋❀ I haven’t done anything like that I had to isolate myself in school or I would get bullied all the time so I just gave up being around people, I’ve also never babysat or helped a neighbour I live In The middle of nowhere basically so no neighbours to help and definitely no babies, so am I just doomed to stay jobless forever?!
