I am 18 and I am currently in College. Studying General Arts and Science so I can qualify to go to University.

I want to make some money but I have no experience and I have failed in every attempt.

How do I even begin to make a resume?

.Generally if you’ve never had a job, you’re not expected to have a resume’. The places you apply should have employment applications for you to fill out. However if you want to submit a resume’ also, include life skills and classes you’ve taken that are relevant to the job for which you are applying.

Depending on the type of job you are applying for, a resume’ may or may not make a difference. Retail and food service jobs (which are typically the easiest to get for someone without experience) don’t require a resume’…just a good attiude and willingness to deal with the public (and the ability to do it well).

Good luck!

Hi
I have been selling new and used mostly kids clothes on e-bay and have earned Power seller symbol award and bronze medal symbol for making good sales within one year and would like to add that to my resume .How do i do it?
Also i have been preparing taxes as my part time job gig and not sure what words to use as a job duties except tax preparer.

On your resume, list "Part-time Jobs".

Then explain each job like this: (under heading of Part-time Jobs)

2001-2010: Prepared both federal and state Income Tax Returns, using the following software programs: –…..– (list them)

2008-2009: Sold new and used children’s clothing on E-Bay. Earned "Power Seller" symbol, and Brone Medal symbol awards for quality and volume of sales within one year.

Hope this helps

when applying it is saying it is exceeding 300kb whatever that means. Can I do something to make it smaller I have windows vista. Thanks
Thnx Joy and Shane. Get a life the others
I did use a word doc and somehow saved it as a acrobe I think document. Im confused lol. Oh well thanks anyway

lol….well maybe you can start by taking any pictures of your children out of the resume. just kidding of course…

re save it as a text format (.txt) on your word processor. than attach that file.

Applying to be a nightclub promoter but other than the usual "I am confident, outgoing" etc. I don’t know what else to write and I need something that will make me stand out..

Job searching can be a tough task in itself, especially if you’re not used to it. I was making heavy weather of with my job searching recently until I stumbled upon the site in the box below site which has some brilliant instruction for job hunters. After doing as they advised for a couple of weeks I netted myself a brilliant job.

What are some things that can be done to a resume to make it standout more and be noticed by an employer?

high lite the length of your previous employment, that’s the one of the first things i look at to see how many jobs and how long

professor offering a research spot asked for a CV instead of a resume. How can i change my resume into a CV? the resume is 1 page long but already includes information on basically all my experience and the dates. I’m not sure if there’s anything else I can think to add…

Your CV should just be an expanded version of your resume. In the US, it’s typically used with academic jobs while a CV is the norm for most of the rest of the world. To change your resume format into CV, you’ll need to expand some of the detail particularly in the area of classes you’ve taken, papers you’ve published…anything academic in nature.

This site does a good job explaining the differences and has some examples (although I think the examples lack detail)that should point you in the right direction.

If you just do a search for curriculum vitae examples, you should come-up with some better ones. Good luck.

I’m a senior in college. However, I’ve been out of school for over two years. I’m about two classes short of graduating (two internships). I just realized my resume maybe a little misleading. How can I express this to people who have already called me in for a interview? Also I would like to correct it on my resume to prevent any future misunderstandings.

ABC College. Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration

I want to apply for a job where it asks me to e-mail my resume. I think it would be good if I wrote a cover letter aswell seeing that the job is competitive. Its just an internship job.

How would I e-mail both the resume and coverletter. Do i have them saved as 2 different files or put them in one word document, the first page being resume and the following pages my resume?

I’m assuming you weren’t told out-right that they did not want any cover letters. Often, if a cover letter is not asked for, it is not wanted. These people will be doing a lot of reading and often resumes that require more reading are thrown out without immediately. That said, if you think it’s a good idea to write a cover letter, go for it. Attach it separately, BELOW the resume attachment, so it can be easily ignored if it is not wanted.

I’m going to graduate from college soon and have been juggling the idea of teaching English overseas for a year. I was wondering if teaching English overseas for a year look good on your resume even if you majored in Business Information Systems? How would it look if I were to apply for graduate school?

better then most others
