Writing a Resume For a Teenager With No Work Experience

Writing a Resume For a Teenager With No Work ExperienceWriting a resume for a teenager with no work experience may seem like an impossible task. This is why many teens feel a bit confused when it comes to making their resumes. Of course, the problem is usually in the quality of the information they provide to fill out their paper. In fact, they may give the incorrect information and just hope that this will make them appear more professional.If you want to write a resume for a teenager with no work experience, then I suggest you start by giving the most essential details about your life. You do not have to include every job you have ever done, but just the information which can be helpful in the application process. You could also add other details, if you find it useful.Your first piece of advice is to keep your personal facts brief. These simple things to help you avoid problems later on, so you do not have to spend your time writing a resume which is lacking in information.If you have extra details, include them. But remember that there are some details which are mandatory. For example, you will be asked to list your degrees, certifications, diplomas and certificates.Need proof? Some people may think that they should have more certification. But remember that you will be paid with the amount of money earned. Therefore, you would be better off getting the necessary paperwork than wasting your time filling up the form.As for work experience, you may choose to talk about the type of jobs you have had, but I recommend that you do not give all the details. Instead, write down what you did before you came to the US. Youshould list your occupation, the name of the company and the year in which you left the place. This is the best way to show the level of education you had before you came to the US.After you have written your resume, you will probably find that it is difficult to make it look professional. That is why you will have to prepare yourself. One option yo u have is to do a research on the company to see how they handle their resumes. However, if this option does not work for you, then you have to change the formatting of your resume.

Harvards Dining Workers Reach Agreement With University

Harvard's Dining Workers Reach Agreement With University After months of tense negotiations, Harvard University dining workers have stepped off the picket line. The Boston-based union that represents Harvard’s dining workers, UNITE HERE Local 26, said it finalized an agreement with the university last week, the Harvard Crimson reported. After striking a tentative agreement on October 26, workers voted 583-1 to ratify the proposed contract the following day. The new agreement created a $35,000 minimum annual salary for full-time employees and will prevent any increases in health care copayments for the next five years. Union workers returned to work in the dining halls on Thursday, receiving a warm welcome from students, some of whom aided them in the strike, as they did so.

Read More: Why Jim Beam Workers Are On Strike Harvard’s dining hall workers were on a historic strikeâ€"the first in 30 years and the only one that has ever taken place during the academic yearâ€"since early October. Their demands included a pay hike and for the university to maintain its current health benefits package for employees. The agreement came after a day of picketing, in which more than 500 students walked out of class and staged a sit-in that lasted well into the night. At one point during the night, students and strikers joined hands to sing “We Shall Overcome.” This isn’t the first time this year an Ivy League worker has taken a stand against its elite employer. In June, Cory Meanfee, a dining hall worker at Yale, lost his job after breaking a stained glass window depicting slavery. He was given his job back in July after expressing remorse over his actions. Update: This story has been updated with the dining bargaining committee’s full vote on Tuesday afternoon.

The First Rule Of Resume Writing - Work It Daily

The First Rule Of Resume Writing - Work It Daily “Always listen to experts. They’ll tell you what can’t be done, and why. Then do it.” â€" Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love Related: Top 10 Resume Trends For 2014 The first rule of resume writing is that there are no rules. Resume writing, in that sense, is a Zen-like experience, and the closest thing to a rule you’ll encounter is the one that says, “Write tight.” But that’s true of all writing, not just resume writing. You should never waste words. Words gain power the more sparingly they are used. Why use two words when one can do just as well? Everything else about writing a powerful resume isn’t rules but more a set of guidelines for what will get you the attention of the all-important hiring manager. Does your resume have visual appeal? Is it in an attractive, easy-to-read, 12-point font (or even 13- or 14-point, depending on the font)? Is there plenty of white space? Are your headlines or section breaks clearly delineated from the body of the resume? Beyond the esthetics, there’s the “meat” of the resume itself. What kind of lead have you written? Does your copy above the first fold in the page compel the reader to continue through the resume? I recently reviewed a resume wherein the entire top third was taken up by contact information and a photograph of the applicant. That’s nearly four inches of prime resume “real estate” gone to waste to serve the job seeker’s vanity. That applicant should have used that space for a simple yet powerful description of who he was and how he could alleviate the “pain” that had led to the job opening. Farther into the body of the resume, is there clear demarcation between the sections of the document? In other words, can the reader easily tell where the Introduction ends and the Accomplishments and Skills section begins? Most important of all, does your resume show accomplishments, or merely job duties? Do you show proof of your claim to “strong detail orientation,” or “leadership skills”? What about “communication skills”? Anyone can claim they have strong communication skills; but what does that mean, exactly? Conducting sensitive contract negotiations with union shop stewards or representatives of new suppliers takes one type of communication skills; directing a group of workers laying eight-inch poly pipe requires an entirely different set of such skills. They’re both communication skills. But do you see how important it is to describe each as a discrete activity, and not simply place them under the blanket category of “communication skills”? In fact, throughout your entire work history, I advise you to add the phrase “So what?” after each bullet point, and answer the question. That’s one way to determine if what you’ve written is an actual accomplishment or simply a job duty. Employers don’t buy job duties, they buy accomplishments, results. They already know what the job duties are. Your goal is to show your potential employer how you achieved solid results at every job you worked at, how you made each job your own, and left each job better than it was before you arrived. Which engineer would you hire: The one who says, “Responsible for utility plant waste water upgrade project for the instrumentation scope, basic engineering review, detailed engineering review and recommendations, along with engineering and project management team”? Or the one who says, “Installed cutting-edge waste water treatment system that cut annual hazardous waste expenses approximately $150,000”? Do you see how this turns the message into a vibrant statement about what you will do for the potential employer? Watch any TV commercial: whether it’s for shampoo, a household cleaning product, soap, or whatever. The commercial isn’t about the product’s history or about what it’s made of. No, when they’re selling you shampoo, for instance, they sell you on how great your hair will look when you use the product. You want to paint a picture in the employer’s mind of you meeting the employer’s needs, so that before s/he is even finished reading the resume, that employer is at least thinking of bringing you in for an interview. For years, Palmolive dish detergent ran commercials showing a manicurist using the product to soften her customers’ hands. Yes, there are no “rules” for writing resumes. There are, however, certain guidelines to be followed. Following these guidelines will help ensure that your resume winds up in the hiring manager’s “Yes” pile.
