Resume help?

Question

I work in a warehouse and i want apply for office jobs. I have no idea what to put on a resume because none of my work experience has nothing to do with a office job. although I have passed lots of computer courses such as microsoft office and office 2000 along with internet classes such as html and web surfing. Im very good with all computer tasks. I only have a high school diploma. any advice?

Answer 1

Sounds like you have the appropriate classes and a good knowledge base. I begin my resume with "Skills and Talents" and bullet all my applicable experience, (don't have to mention it's only classwork at this time) and use strong language. Go to a thesaurus and look-up words like, expert, strong, and proficient. I use the exact language in my res that was used in the advert the employer put out. Aim for entry-level admin jobs...you'll move up the ladder fast. Good luck.

Answer 2

First of all, add an objective. You objective should be clear and concise. It should tell exactly what kind of job you are looking for.

As for what to put on your resume... Education...what was the high school you attended

Work History...go through all of it. I would write down every job you had and then write down each task you performed or what you were responsible. Titles matter little on a resume because they are different at different companies and often misrepresent what work you actually do. Employers look at what you did on these jobs and how does it translate to what you want to do.

Record volunteer activities and responsibilities. It is amazing the things you can do as a volunteer. These experience translate to working positions and show enthusiasm. Treat each experience as you would a job. What did you do and what were you responsible for?

You could also record the classes you took...maybe under education. They are directly applicable to your goals.

Working in a warehouse I would think, would give you insight into inventory control and management or maybe receiving? You can create a section called Expertise.

I would advise you to go to google and just type in the word resume. You can find various formats for resumes out on the internet that might help you to format yours.

Good luck!

Even though you only have warehouse experience you have skills that can carry over to an office job. Highlight the fact you have "highly experienced computer skills" List at bottom of your resume all the courses that you've taken.
In your cover letter use words like. People oriented, problem solver, can handle multiple tasks, Conscientious, goal oriented, willing to start at the bottom and work my way up, Good Luck!
