Resumes for job-seekers with no experience

 

And now what?

If you are looking for your fist job, either while studying or after graduating, here is the roadmap to get your first job.
Welcome to the job market!

There are resume structures specifically designed for those looking for their first job.

If this is your case, we assume that: first, you are young; second, you earned your degree recently; and third, you have plenty of hope and motivation. Your resume, especially your Profile, should transmit to prospective employers this state of mind, together with your excellent qualifications for a starting position.

As you probably don't have a lot of work experience related to the job you want, you will obviously want to emphasize your recent education or training. This might refer to specific courses you took and other activities that most directly relate to the job you now seek.

Consider your schoolwork as the equivalent of work because it required self-discipline, completion of a variety of tasks similar to those required in many jobs.

First things come first

Take as much time as you need to make a detailed and thorough account of all your professional activities to date, even those you may consider unimportant.

These activities may include

  • part-time jobs while you were studying,
  • events from your college years,
  • such as short-term projects,
  • periods of in-service training,
  • research projects in which you have participated,
  • term papers or documents you have prepared,
  • presentations made at seminars, workshops, or other meetings.

You should identify skills you acquired by your participation in these experiences and label those skills according to the skills headings used in want ads and job descriptions; in other words, you have to translate your duties into the headings of the corresponding jargon.

To help you translate duties into skill headings, "EasyJob Resume Builder" lists hundreds of skill headings arranged under broader subjects, and provides you with several “skill-finding” examples.

The skill-based or functional resume format that the resume maker will suggest for job-seekers with no experience will allow you to more effectively present the work you did and the skills you gained.

You should also look for anything that might be acceptable as experience and emphasize it. Besides education, this might include volunteer work, training, military experience, or anything else that you might present as legitimate activities that support your ability to do the work that you feel you can do.

Most job seekers have far more valuable skills and experience than they realize, and usually fail to include those 'employability assets' in their resume. In our competitive job market, this is a mistake you can't afford.

A job-seeker with a long and consistent work experience might be able to overlook some of his skills and achievements and still get away with it.

If you are looking for your fist job, you can't. No way.

 

EasyJob's Skill Mining techniques will help you find those skills and present them in a sharp, focused, assertive and pro-active way with a winning resume.
