First job, need help with a resume?
I'm 19 years old and I have no previous work experience. I'm looking to apply for a job as a receptionist for a salon/spa. Although I've never had a paying job, I interned as a veterinary assistant in high school and I currently attend a very prestigious university in my state. I'm in a leadership position in my sorority and am pursuing a degree in Public Relations, so I'm great with people. I also type at 95 wpm and am skilled with computers. Any suggestions for how to highlight these things in my resume so I'm not rejected because of lack of work experience? Also, any other tips on things to include would be really helpful.Thanks!

Sitcpsit... advice is good. Your school probably has a counselor who will help you (for free). |

Don't over-title assistant that you had NO veterinary doctoring, yet find a spot to describe that you are figuring how to benefit employer rather than a liability. Cost balance needs to be given your specific knowledge of certain industry, hardly any weak comment of being good with people merely exaggerated. Grade-point before Junior of Bachelor degree not considerably important, so don't weaken with vague "a degree" due being diminished to Associate, so rather dismissible. Write for who is to read resume by specializing on one page. Try to find their resume before granting yourself much in school name nor club endorsement. My thoughts don't lead me to think I'm wrong that little typing will be done for appointment ledger entries off phone; don't shoppe bosses tend to hire from ladies also in course for such job? Service to others is entirely the better mission than working in this service industry compared to factory or administrator. You really appear to need to start looking at others' versions, if not merely visit library to see examples down to blank forms for those instructions. Expect interview to count 60%, mostly by not contradicting paper intro. That you understand words of want-ad, yet are open to fixing misimpression would be first mention of small details on what your job would be, then be prepared to open boss with mild question as watching for opportunity to be a touch possessive... as your job, or not. Were you unable to read boss that well, receptionist would risk being above skill-set at this blunder. Opposite of boss getting in face may test simply working it out with customers, go prepared at least for illustrating your own good mood; not a topic to put too specifically in resume. Policy of shoppe isn't what you want to cross before chance to get told or watch leader doing 'how' you're supposed to pick up the work offered. That third impression of starting the position may also beat resume, but it cannot start stupidly. You aren't getting any chance to show off as much as way to get across to boss grasping what is needed from you. If your history fits, underline in your notes to assure putting into resume, without final bold nor capitalization; use better words rather than punctuating childishly. Illustrate as if mind of over-25 age grasps time and future, except shy from using this job as steppingstone in favor of discussing how long boss sees you in the job. You haven't even touched whether you want to move up in the same shoppe; make an opportunity to share this with boss without disagreeing too harshly, right? I really don't see you picking a ceiling at phone; interviewer will need to believe you. It can be appreciated that you scan skills towards another future, or not, so leave that for chat moment of pre-hire, not lengthening resume, just for your first time. Job-virginity counts poorly in most as my hint is to start thinking of solid credit history that sweet jobs often check. |
