Hi Stephanie -


I am assuming that you have created a basic resume at this point?
if so, you can create a "skills" resume that outlines how you have solved challenging issues in the past even though you haven't actually had any previous employment...


Think back to situations where maybe you were a club officer, baby-sitter, volunteer, class leader, etc.
Then use this format on your resume, you can even use the headings below...


CHALLENGE - describe the challenge you or your group/family was faced with
ACTION - described the actions you took as a participant or as the leader
RESULTS - describe the outcome that occurred due to your actions


If you introduce yourself in your resume as a problem-solver and then support that statement with the above you should get the attention of the hiring managers for at least at interview where you can elaborate on your skills.


Always be POSITIVE when presenting yourself!

Hi Stephanie - There are currently a lot of part-time job opportunities in the restaurant and retail sales industries. I encourage you to continue your job search, and I'm confident you'll be able to find an entry-level position in one of those areas. You may also consider volunteering with a local non-profit organization. It's a great way to gain valuable experience while giving back to your community!

For your first resume be sure to add:

- Relevant Coursework to the job
- Volunteer work
- GPA
- Extracurricular activities
- Awards

You want to really showcase your current talents and how they connect to the job you are wanting.
