Answer 2

Every one has experience in something. If you mean you've never had a job before, then what you do is describe some of the things you did and/or were involved in at school or in your community, what subjects you have studied and projects you have done. If you have held jobs before but none that relate to what you are looking for now, then describe what your duties were at those other jobs as normal but make sure you include in your resume an 'Objective' and express how you would like to be involved in the type of work you are looking for. Include an objective for the first scenerio also. I believe that in your case, the objective will be most important, so look up examples (easy to find on the internet) and work from there. Hope this helps you out, I myself am looking for work and one other word of advice I can give you is have patience and never give up.

If you are just starting out in the job market, you can expect that your choices will be limited. But a basic job that teaches work ethic, keeping a schedule and making it to work on time, dealing with co-workers, following instructions, customer service, etc will not usually even require a resume...just fill out an application and try to talk to the manager or owner there and tell them how much you look forward to working with them. Yes. These are burger flipping, snot wiping, toilet scrubbing, filing and sorting jobs. But they are essential for building a network of people who can vouch for those basic career skills. THEN you have something to put on your resume, especially if you get promoted.

For a first resume, you can, by the way, list individuals that you have done favors for, as well as other activities you participated in without pay: did you help someone move or plant a garden or mow their lawn? Have you done babysitting or mentoring or tutoring? Have you helped with a yard sale or concession stand? Have you helped plan events and fundraisers for church or school clubs? Were you on a team or choir? Did you help with a campaign or a charity? Being involved in these kinds of things will give people plenty to say about your sense of responsibility, being a team player, and working hard at whatever needs done. All are essential in any job so they help.

Just remember that as you advance in your career, let these drop off your resume in favor of positions that are more current and up higher on the ladder.

Answer 4

Focus on your education and any extra-curricular activities that helped you build skills you need in the work force. Were you the president or treasurer of a club? That builds leadership and bookkeeping skills. Volunteer activities are great to include also. If all you have done is babysit or mow lawns, focus on attendance and quality. If you have absolutely no experience, volunteer at a non-profit organization to get some.

Answer 5

You put down relative skills to the job you are applying for like honesty integrity, smart, good attitude, etc. go on to your education, and write a good cover letter, expressing that you have no work experience , but that you have many good qualities that you think are desirable for the job

Answer 6

Focus on the skills you have aquired in the jobs that you have done. Try to find things that cross over intot he area you are looking to get into. Examples are: strong work habits, attendence record, promotions, or additonal responsiblities. Be creative, but show the connection.

Answer 7

Promote your strong points. Any education or training you may have had. Your eagerness to perform a task. Your positive attitude. Your willingness to listen and learn. You get the idea, right?

Answer 8

Put down your schools, dates attended like ABC school, 2005-present and list relevant coursework (mathematics for a cashier job, communications for a cust. service job, typing for a data entry job..etc.) also list your skills, such as proficient in microsoft office, etc.

Answer 9

focus on your scholastical standings - your awards, honors, your extracurricular activities esp. if its related to the job you are applying for.

also, focus on the skills you have, where your strength lies. Companies do hire fresh grad bec. they are like sponges who easliy absorb everything taught them, are eager to learn and can be relied upon to do extra work and are generally hard working - - i know bec. our company does not shy away from fresh grads.

good luck.
