The money just becomes a crutch though. I live this way and I haven't worked in 6 years.

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.

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.

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]

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.

All my job experience is military and the job I'm now in the search for is not. Writing a civil resume from just myilitary background is stressing to say the less.

“What have you achieved in your life?” …. Haha, yeah….

[@tiffanygrever8092]

I'm a 49 year old woman that last child went into a home for disabled adults, I haven't worked sense 2001 shortly before my first son was born. For the last 23 years I have been a wife then just a mother and care giver. I am now looking for employment and having a difficult time most of the experience I have has ether been in house keeping or retail and when the see how long I have been out of work you can tell the wheels are turning. I really hope to get on my feet soon.

Does helping your parents do housework or errands count for something in skills? plus I have never done much volunteer work, I never joined any kind of clubs in high school.

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Yes, helping your parents count. Can you find volunteer work?

[@JC98x_o]

@@ProfessorHeatherAustin haven't found any.

[@devingallagher2736]

I was in the Navy. We had to do paper work to do anything. In order to submit it I had to show it to like 3 different supervisors before hand and each one had different expectations of what they wanted to see on the paperwork. Now I get really anxious when doing paperwork. I always wonder if I am missing out on an opportunity because I missed one little detail.

Another great video Heather!

Thanks for watching Christina. So glad you found these resume writing tips useful!

When you've only had one job for five months and can't figure out how to fit it into your no experience resume

[@byeteaching]

This video hits the nail on the head!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Thanks so much! Loving all of your comment.

[@JessPeachee]

My biggest frustration is writing the job descriptions for the two jobs I've had since high school. I'm also struggling making my resume "more me" and decorative for an art or graphic design job

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Hi Jess! Thanks for sharing. Focus on your transferrable skills. These are skills that apply to both jobs. To reflect a resume that's more you...try using slight color changes. You could even use an infographic resume, especially for the design field. I wish you all the best.

[@kaylag5043]

I'm still struggling with this, I'm in grade 9 so I don't have much experience in anything outside of school, but academics are unrelated to pretty much any job I could get. And it would be incredibly hard to talk about my love for the supermarket I want to work at without it sounding ridiculous.

[@moonondp4173]

The way the groceries are pact are simply marvelous and I love the cool and refreshing air in the environment as I walk, the paint on the wall is simply breath taking and extremely well kept, the first time I laid eyes upon the floor I thought it was a mirror until I was blinded by the sparkles reflecting from the beautiful lights above

[@Ellie-yx8ni]

A job in retail (like the supermarket), are looking for people who are dependable, professional, punctual, have attention to detail, good people skills, comfortable talking to others, etc. They want people who are eager to work hard and will show up on time. You can play up any of those qualities. If you are good in school, that can show you are hard working, diligent, intelligent, good with numbers, etc.

[@whorable]

i tried getting a job but had an anxiety attack at the place and could tell i lied on having good customer service when in reality im a nervous wreck.. i’m trying again with a resume and trying to be professional hopefully this works out

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Oh wow! I’m sorry tit had an anxiety attack. Keep practicing and get your resume in tip top shape. You’ve got this! ❤️

[@danielthepotato6964]

Does anyone notice that the selected achievement in the sample is just a list of "nothing" but written in a more beautiful way?!

[@Barnooo]

Professor with all my respect to your great efforts but don't you think that the resume template that you've show is visually dull? I mean no recruiter would look at a classic black and white. I don't know that is my opinion if you know many cases of acceptance for this template then please correct me.

[@healthyvoicetips]

I have not written a resume in a very long time so this video is very very good. Thanks for sharing!

[@WingCross]

[@whorable]

@@WingCross does it work the same if you’re on phone?

[@DoozyDak]

@@WingCross Omg thank you for verifying that it isn't a scam etc and actually works :D

[@ScoobyandShaggy5554]

How come on the template it has Work experience do I skip it? I don’t have any and I need one

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Hi there! You can remove the work experience section all together. It's there to show what's possible on your resume (all the different sections you can add). Good luck!

[@ScoobyandShaggy5554]

Professor Heather Austin thank you so much for replying I am so thankful that you did and you replied so fast thank you so much very helpful video.

[@Frostyrnb77]

Would you recommend adding in short-term volunteer? I have volunteer experience; however I don't know if I should include them on my resume, since many of them were short-term events. Convention gig 1: 37 hours during 1 week. Convention gig 2: 16 hours during 3 days, University move-in crew: 6 hours during 2 days, and language tutoring: 3 months.

[@MrDeanguy]

Defiantly, no reason not to. Just don't give more details than necessary if you think it barely 'counts'.

[@lynncarylsumagaysay5054]

Hi Heather, my biggest trouble is I'm home schooled, so no formal education, but currently I am working as a freelancer because a friend give me her place, it's been 6 months now. Now I want to apply at a certain company, but I don't know what to put in my education section of the resume. :(

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

One way to look at it... your homeschool is considered a private school. So list it as you would a private and include your expected graduation. Hope this helps.

[@lynncarylsumagaysay5054]

Start with summary + objective Mention your Attributes Accomplishments, why are you passionate about the position and industry 2- focus on education and training (as experience) name the school you attended (academic Honors)

Super cool Adriana! Glad you enjoyed this video about how to write a resume with little or no experience.

Question on 00:47 What makes me worried about making a resume, is the fact that I'm really awkward most of the time, so I my write stuff I didn't need or write to much, etc.

[@jschultzf3]

The volunteer experience section is really, really important...great tips, Heather!

Hi James! I totally agree that the volunteer experience on a resume is so important. Especially if you don't have a lot of work experience. Thanks for watching!

21 and trying to get a job in the worst recession since the 1930s great depression. i feel this pressure to get a job right now. i have zero experience. no volunteer work. no internship. im disabled , on benefits.

[@lraoux]

My biggest frustration with writing a resume is paralysis, paralysis which is caused by not starting a resume because I have no clue on how to make a good one being that I have no job experience; 2nd, I don't even know what type of job I want so why even bother? 3rd, just thinking about it stresses me out and I'd rather do something that is more understandable and quickly rewarding. Then I just sit and wonder about how impossible it all is.

Wow. You’ve put it into words perfectly how I’ve been feeling 😞💛
