How should a teen write a resume when they have no past job?

We Answered:

If you have Word on your computer you can go into file...new...template...and choose a resume template and just fill in your info. Put any volunteer work, tutoring that you have done, ext. in the previous work history. If you have none then just erase that portion and detail your GPA, future plans, ext. Also, you may want to include a cover letter addressing the lack of work history, emphasizing your dedication to school and interest in gaining work experience. If you need help feel free to email me.

What do you write in your resume if you have been fired?

We Answered:

Be honest.

If you have to go through a recruiter or screener, they often are more concerned with what you learned from the experience of being terminated than the main reason for the termination (unless it is theft, etc.).

My advice - bust your tail and keep from being terminated again. Being able to point to a course correction away from being a problem employee to a valuable one will help greatly in being hired in the future.

Hugh Said:

How do you write a resume if you have no experience or achievements?

We Answered:

You can't and you don't need to bother with a resume. Entry level positions, like fast food or retail, usually have an application that you fill out and hand in. Since they are 'entry-level' they don't expect applicants to have much in the way of experience. But if you want to increase your chances, you should spend some time volunteering at a local charity so that you will be working towards gaining work experience for a resume and professional references.

Mattie Said:

How important is it to write a resume or a statement of list extracurricular activities for colleg application?

We Answered:

Definitely include your extracurricular activities! Here are some examples of what looks impressive:

1. Managing People and Events

Have you acted as a leader in any of your extracurricular activities? Been captain of the football team? Editor-in-chief at your school newspaper? Mention it on your resume!

Managerial skills, even in your school newspaper, demonstrate your ability to work with and organize a group–an impressive extracurricular activity!

2. Study Abroad and Foreign Language Programs

Proficiency in more than one language is a valuable asset anywhere you go, including the workplace. Your attempt at learning another language (however successful), looks attractive on a resume.

Studying abroad demonstrates a desire to explore new cultures and the ability to integrate quickly with other people, which is a valuable skill in the workplace.

3. Community Service

As a resume extracurricular activity, it doesn’t get much better than community service. This shows that you’re a self-starter, that you’re selfless, and that you care about the community that you’re part of. With enough resume extracurricular activities like these, you’ll be preparing for a job interview in no time.

4. Writing & Technical Experience

If you have writing experience or technical training, these are great resume extracurricular activities to include. Even if they seem unrelated, these skills are useful in nearly all workplaces.

Being able to express yourself, in English or HTML, is a skill that companies greatly value, so let your resume tell them how experienced you are!

5. Long-Term Dedication

If you’ve had a job or extracurricular activity that you’ve worked on for a long period of time, mention it on your resume even if it doesn’t relate to the job you’re applying for.

The ability to commit to a specific task for an extended period of time is an admirable and attractive aspect of resume extracurricular activities.

Resume extracurricular activities should be carefully selected. Listing dozens of unrelated, passing extracurricular activities says little about you and makes you seem unfocused.

Salvador Said:

How to write short and long term goals in my resume?

We Answered:

Keep it simple - a few sentences - talk abut understanding the processes and getting involved in a project w/n 6 month. Then, taking that knowledge and developing or developing something new - relate it to what they develop.
