      You’re not a failure! Writing a resume is hard, like having to think about what you’ve done? I get it! If you don’t know what to put, try thinking about ANY experiences you’ve had that show you have skills. Skills can be anything from problem solving to quality assurance (this is actually a fancy word for proofreading). Trust me, you have skills! You just have to figure out the way to communicate them :)

I couldn’t get internships or any work related to my degrees because the dunkin i worked at was right across from my house and I had to help out with rent and other bills in my household while going to school full time.

I’m going into freshman year and those where both done in 7th grade so if your school has clubs that do volunteering, join!!!!

I started applying to jobs May 2019 but I've only received one phone call in my life and that happened a few weeks ago. But I missed the call cuz I was sleeping. 😖😣
      Not getting calls or emails back makes feel so dumb and worthless, cuz in high school 16 yr olds are getting hired.

      The money just becomes a crutch though. I live this way and I haven't worked in 6 years. You still have to budget every month like everyone else, and it's not enough money that you can essentially retire. I don't know your family's financial status but at a certain point, you will most likely have to return to the workforce. You have to stay relevant so that if you need to get a job, you can.

    3) achievements
    I have none
    4) volunteer experience
    I’ve never volunteered. “Okay only 2 I can’t do, no big deal”
    5) special skills
    I don’t know what classifies as “special” but I know how to clean thoroughly, take out trash, dishes, can dig, and maintain the front and back yard of a home. “Doubt any of that’s gonna be useful to apply to a grocery store”
    6)professional memberships
    “Third one blank :( “
    7) language competency
    I can speak English and have taken three years of German but essentially can only identify about 30 words
    I honestly don’t know if that’s normal for my first job resume, but I expect to be applying to a lot of places XD

      its because if you are applying with a company that screens their resumes through a service or robot, if you don't have keywords you won't even make it to the actual human hiring manager. And sometimes hiring managers completely disregard the resume in just a quick glance of it. kind of discouraging, you have to beat a robot or personality test when you may have really valuable skills.

    what sucks is how hard it is to get a job with no experience, or at least from what i've seen. i've applied to so many jobs and haven't heard back from a single one regardless of when the posting was. i lack experience, so i dont have much to offer when it comes to my resume. i need to have experience for a job, yet i can't get a job without having one for experience? it's a loophole, and im really trying to get through it. i truly would love to have a job, it'd genuinely make me so happy. i'd love to put fourth my effort towards something, make people smile, and earn from it- i have so much free time after school since i always complete my work on time that i end up kinda just sitting in my room trying to manage my boredom. the concept of getting out of the house and getting paid to do stuff? that sounds awesome. i just wish i had experience, but i guess im kinda stuck here struggling. i feel like im going to have to work at a low end store and work my way up- go from a mcdonalds to an olive garden, yk? i'm hoping if i improve my resume by watching tutorials on it that i'll have a better chance, try to show that im worth more than just experience people seem to want- i really do not want to work at a place where i dont feel safe or just uncomfortable at :(

    • @ProfessorHeatherAustin
      @ProfessorHeatherAustin  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It can be frustrating to not hear back from jobs you've applied for, especially when you lack experience. However, it's not impossible to break into the workforce. My suggestions to improve your chances: Network, gain related experience through volunteering or interning, tailor your resume to fit the job you're applying for, and practice interviewing. Remember, the job market changes and starting at the bottom can lead to learning and growing opportunities. Keep trying, stay motivated and don't hesitate to reach out for further advice.

I never thought that i would need a degree to know basic life skills.

    The nightmare that I'm currently faced with, is that both companies in which I worked, had their employees resign and emigrate, whilst others were what could be termed "global joint venture projects" wherein people from different parts of the globe work together on a project and then leave once it's complete or when one's contract term reaches fulfillment. Now I'm stuck with either deceased, retired or uncontactable references. The experience is there, but I have nobody that a recruiting agent can call to back up the claim on my résumé. I feel uninspired and find job searching pointless, especially with the bias criteria that's set as policy and protocol to follow that serves to sideline others, while allow others a "golden ticket" pass. Such a shame.
