Need help with resume...No education???

Question

I am writing a resume for my husband. He does masonry (laying brick and block). He does not have a college education nor did he graduate high school. He does have his GED. What do I write in his resume. It has to be emailed to a possible employer this evening. He has 7 years experience in this field. All the templates I have found list education and I do not know what to put in there. Please help. Also, do you know any tips on how to make a good resume?

Answer 1

You can put GED on education. That is better then not entering any information at all. Make sure that your resume has an objective. Example.To become part of a team oriented company where I can better myself as well as utilize the skills I have obtained.  -Add at least 3 most recents jobs and give detail about what your job was all about. You will also want to include education, Skill/qualifications and references.  The templates that Microsoft Word has will help.

Answer 2

Well, the Head HR from my company had a message for all of us, if we were to apply for any post in any company...

When you apply for a company, and when you have experience in any field.... that is the one that shines the most and education is the last thing they look for.,

First comes personal details... then immediately followed by Experience..(this is the part that they ll be lookin for) and then comes the educational details... here since he dosnt have any, you can go ahead and mention any certifications if he has any.

Do not  state the objective in the resume...

Answer 3

Focus the resume on all of his work experience, and any other skills that he's acquired. For instance, if he's learned any other trade during his work as a mason like carpentry, and he's proficient at it, put that down. You should also emphasize any leadership positions that he's taken, such as being a supervisor or manager for the companies he worked for, if he ever recieved those promotions.

And you should always put down any military experience that he has, if any. Thats always a plus for employers, so long as he was honorably discharged.
