Answer 2

Getting 5 interviews out of 100 applications is better than average! Way better! However, the bad news is donations are way down for charities/non-profits, and 48 of 50 states are broke. No funding, no money, massive layoffs, plenty of competition - highly experienced, and no jobs. MSWs are a glut on the market these days, so it's extremely difficult to get work. So actually, if you are getting any interviews at all, you must be doing something right! Over 31 million Americans are looking desperately for work these days. Official govt figures say 8.5 million jobs lost in the recession, but millions were unemployed/underemployed & looking before the you-know really hit the fan. The real unemployment rate is 22%. But that doesn't count new entrants to the workforce - new grads, people leaving school, people trying to return to the workforce (stay-home moms, long-term unemployed, etc), and 1.5 million legal immigrants plus millions of illegal aliens entering annually, and all the foreign students trying to stay in the US. Foreign students seem to think a student visa is their ticket to remain forever! It's worse than the Depression, actually. What kind of experience do you have in the field? Internships, volunteer work, etc? What about your school's placement office - any help, advice, listings? I'd say get a job overseas, but the countries which have growing economies have no welfare, etc, and hardly want or need an MSW. Can you adapt to another field? What else do you have to offer employers? But whether you want social work, or are willing & able to take something else, you have to keep looking. Do NOT give up! Just because there are hardly any jobs out there does not mean "no" jobs out there. It is excruciatingly difficult, but keep at it. Persistence is critical. BTW, be sure you send a thank you note - proper business form on your personal letterhead, not a personal note - within 24 hours of any interview! Reiterate your interest in the job, bring up your sales pitch of your best qualities, what would make you a great candidate. Good luck.

Answer 3

You should bring a resume, and you should put your high school activities on it. The fundraiser and your grades are very important, especially the fundraiser, and babysitting shows you are a responsible person.
Good luck!

Answer 4

That's resume enough; 4.0 GPA. I'll hire you. Bring in that small resume, and don't forget to put all your accomplishments in it. Everything from commendations to awards. Show what you like to do, what you do best, and what your potential is. Main thing is to go to college. Let him/her know you are definitely planning to attend college. That's a must if you want to get hired. At your age and your GPA, if you say anything else, you may not get the job. I know if you came to me with that resume and said you aren't going to attend college, I wouldn't hire you until I get a commitment from you that you are going to attend college.

Answer 5

Your CV is about you and remember you started to gain experience the day you started school. Therefore, when attending a job interview bring along any certificates etc that you have been awarded both academically and sporting. You want to announce that you are a team player

Answer 6

obviously yes, it provides the basic information about you to the interviewer, i myself is a hr person, so i can tell you that the screening starts itself with your resume. if the details of your resume doesnot match with the job requirements u will be eliminated in the first round itself, also interviewer's question depends on your details mentioned in the resume. so carrying resume is highly important.

Answer 7

I would bring a resume if you are able to list other experiences. Personal references will be helpful, because the employer will be able to talk to people who know you.

Answer 8

yes what ever job u apply resume or curriculum vitae is important even if u do not have any experience
