How do I write a resume with no experience. I know this is bad but

Question

I'm 20 yrs old with no work experience what so ever. I got my ged last year so where should I start how should I format it. However I do have basic computer knowledge like word,excel etc. Thanks for all the help

Answer 1

I used this resume writing service in my area, this is the email address, ([e-mail]) you should try them, it only cost me $35.00 and I got a great job from this new resume, I never thought about the format that they use but the turn around time was less then 24 hrs.  I would have to say it was the best service I have ever used and it was worth every dime.  Also they let me pay through paypal.

Answer 2

Think about your life experience. For example, if you were a parent, you can include those skills. Such as multitasking, managing a budget, and routine maitanence. Whatever experiences you had in high school. Special projects, even hustling. Find a clever way to play up your skills.  

Answer 3

Start with your contact information along the top. Have you done any volunteer work? If so, be sure to include that. Be sure to include the years of education you completed as well as the fact that you earned your GED. The fact that you did it so recently shows you are working on trying to fix your life. Also, put "personal" skills. This includes your basic computer knowledge, any other skills such as welding or others that you do personally, and any of useful skills. I also would be sure to put the amount of time you've done such skills. Like on mine, I have that I type 75wpm and have used computers personally for the past 9 years. Also include any relevant school classes you had before you dropped out (such as photography if you're applying for a photography position). Just highlight your strong points. When at the interview, be sure you explain why you haven't worked for the past however many years (working on helping your family perhaps?). I would be sure to come up with a relevant reason besides being too lazy (not that I'm saying that is your reason--but for some it is). Good luck!

Answer 4

Write down ALL of your skills. I mean ALL of them that relate to the job your applying for like responsibility and good at being on time. List ALL of your scholastic achievements and athletic ones if applicable. Any extracurricular activities as well

Answer 5

There is nothing?  No volunteering? No jobs on the side? You didn’t do any chores for other people?  A resume is a list of your experience, and it makes up the biggest part of the resume.  I don’t want to say you are in a tough spot, but you need to find something that can be titled experiences, no matter how small.  If not, start paying attention to those jobs which don’t require a resume, but only an application.  

Start volunteering somewhere now, and you can put that on your resume.  Other than that, you can put your high school information, skills, activities, awards, etc.

Well a good start is getting a template from Microsoft.com they got lots of word template you can use. But simply just put on it you basic skills. you must have some skills. School must have taught you something up to the point of dropping out if you did.
