I have never had a job, and I'm applying for one now (bank) what do I put on my resume...help!!!?

Question

They are asking for a resume, and I have never done one, nor have any job experience, but I have a lot of experience with people work great with them, I'm very polite, and smart,,etc...HELP

Answer 1

Do your resume just like anybody else would.

Put your name/contact info at the top.
Objective is next. This is something brief about what you're trying to accomplish: "Objective: to earn a position with a world class employer to further expand my knowledge base and improve my employers disposition in the _________ industry"

Usually, your work experience would go next. Just skip it.

Afterwards, add your education. Be sure to put your degree earned (BBA, BBS, etc) and where you got it from. If you're aiming for a job in the Finance industry, it might help to add "accumulated 30 hours of finance" or something like that (but make sure it's truthful).

Next, add your awards, recognitions, etc. Usually, President of Student Council would go in this area. I included things from high school on my resume. (Captain of whatever team)

Last, add "References available upon request" at the bottom. This is to let your employer know that you can provide names/phone numbers of three people who are not related to you, but can vouch for your character and reliability. I have former employers as all my references.

So It would like like this:

(center and bold) Jon Doe
123 street
Anytown, USA XXXXX
[e-mail]
(i put my cell number too)

Objective:

Education:

Awards, Recognitions, etc:

References available upon request.

Answer 2

If you have never had a job before, don't bother applying at a bank. They want someone with ambition, experience working with the public, and cash-handling experience even for a lowly teller. You need to start lower on the totem pole. Of course you are polite- everyone is polite when they haven't had the pressures of working for the man.

Answer 3

What position are you applying for? The bank I work for never asked for a resume. The purpose of a resume is NOT to list your employment history. It is to summarize your SKILLS. Tell them what you WILL do, not what you have (or haven't) done.

PS. Just because you haven't done something for pay, does not mean you don't have experience doing it. Have you used your skills as a volunteer?

Answer 4

Have a one or two page resume, with your skill, aptitude, extracurricular activities. Think about the people that are cumbing through the resume and don't have enough time to read through the whole resume. high light your quality and interest. And when it comes to the interview, be confident, be yourself.

good luck.

Answer 5

Describe your school experience, your marks, especially in maths, perhaps even family experience (in the area of responsibility). Have you participated in any clubs in school? sports? Describe that as well.
Describe what your ambitions are, but don't be too lengthy.
A one page resume is ideal if you want it to be read.
