Resume - Working for Home experience?

Question

Hello,

For years, I have been working in my dad's company assisting in his projects. But without a specific position or salary, does it still counts as work experience?

If so, how can I put it into my resume?

Thank you~

Answer 1

When it comes to listing your working experience in a resume, it's all about HOW you do it, how you change certain items, words to make it appear ok.
It doesn't matter you weren't actually hired at your dad's company, the work is still considered part of your experience.

Here, have these two sources consulted:

Do you see what I mean by changing things and terms? You have to take your time and list all your duties and positions and give them an appropriate name, in order to be considered valuable (see the "secretary" example).

Good luck!

Answer 2

Just list your Dad's company. And come up with a title such as: Special Projects Assistant. Then describe your duties and responsibilities.

Answer 3

You definately have experience. Take the time to write down the various postions you've held - descriptions of what you did and then list them in your resume.

No adventure?? How about your adventure coping with the loved ones? How about your adventure balancing the funds? How about your adventure arranging your agenda around the whims of a small baby? that could want to count number for something! How about your adventure as a secure motive force? (I did very well on assistance, operating as a limo motive force!) How about your adventure making waiting and serving food? How about your adventure on the computing gadget? Use your mind's eye. what number stuff did you do as a mom that could translate into useable adventure contained in the organization global?did you do not ignore that potential employers regard volunteer adventure in a very useful basic?
