Other than volunteering, I have never been employed and I want to get a job and upload a resume. What type should I write and do you know what website has a great example of one?
Thank you all so very much!
As an applicant who possesses no previous experience writing down an entry level resume can prove to be difficult. Remember you’re starting with a clean slate and that alone is a great advantage.
When you start writing your resume, first take note of your entry level resume objective.Do you see yourself as qualified for the job, if so, then make that specific position your objective and lay out your resume with that objective in mind.
Your entry level resume should be function oriented, by this I mean that you should concentrate more on showing your capabilities, skills and specific abilities. You cannot yet boast about accomplishments so try to balance that out with other aspects. Like your ability to adapt, you capability to work as in a team environment, and other traits that you think will be of benefit to the company if they hire you.
Place your educational background, certificates, academic achievement somewhere on the top of your resume. Followed by your skills and knowledge, like the program languages you know how to use or specific mechanical skills you know. You can also include anything that you learned outside of school, like knowing how to speak other languages, or self taught technical skills. It is important that your format your resume so that these thing will easily be noticed.
