How to Create a CV With No Job
Experience
Lack of experience is the most common
problem between young specialists who have
already graduated from the university and are
looking for a vacancy that can satisfy their
ambitions fully or partially. But many
employers want to see only qualified
professionals in their organization. Is it
possible to find a place in the sun for those
who just start a career and have no practical
knowledge?
The situation in the labour market is very hard
and unfortunately a lot of young talented
professionals are not able to stand out among
the large number of job seekers and are not
offered a good post. However, many directors
pay attention to the resume of young people
and invite for the job interview with the
prospect of further employment.
The main task is to ensure that your CV was
seen by the employer and was not thrown in
the trash. A good resume incites a desire to
continue the dialogue with a candidate.
However, there is a problem: how to make a
right CV if there is no job experience and
professional achievements? In such cases your
main task is to show your best qualities to the
employer and to prove that you will be able to
perform tasks even without the practical skills.
Remember that resume is to be free of errors
and highlight your abilities.
Follow our tips which may help you to reach
the goal and find a perspective post:
1. Fill in the section "Profile»: first name, last
name, date of birth, the actual state of
residence, e-mail and phone number.
Additional knowledge of foreign languages
will be a good advantage between other
candidates. You may also add photo to your
resume, especially if you are looking for
acting or modeling jobs. Pay attention to the
item "Relocation" because there are
situations that the job seeker is offered a job
in another city. It is necessary to think over
whether you are ready to make such an
important step not to cause problems with
either the employer or with relatives in the
future. Relocation can not only help your
career growth, but may also bring
unexpected and unpleasant surprises (e.g. a
promising post appeared to be uninteresting
and inappropriate, living expenses are too
high, and not everyone will be able to get
used to the rhythm of the life of another
city).
2. The main rule of the section "Preferences» is
the correct name of a job title. The more
accurate the name of the desired post, the
more chances and opportunities you have.
The ideal variant is the complete coincidence
of the job title with the vacancy. Then
specify the specializations, work type and
adequate level of salary. Only a small
number of the employers really pay high
wages, but many of them are ready to spend
time and money for training and
improvement of professional qualities of
young specialists without job experience.
3. It is not recommended to list several desired
posts in one resume. Practically all
employers like concreteness and such a list
will make the impression on the uncertainty
of the candidate. It is better to create a
separate resume for each post.
4. The most important information of any
resume is job experience. It is very
important to fill the tab correctly for those
who are just starting to move up the career
ladder. Do not be afraid to point out a little
job experience, even if it includes 3-4
months and is not related to the future
profession. If you have undergone practical
training in any company or organization,
indicate this information, because such a CV
can be more perspective than other resumes
of young professionals.
5. Specify the level of education, full name of
the institution and year of graduation in the
next tab.
6. Many job seekers ignore the tab "Additional
Information". But it is a good possibility to
describe in detail your personal qualities,
skills and benefits (e.g., knowledge of the
Internet and computer programs, a driver's
license). In this section you can add
additional training courses in case they are
useful to the future job.
You may also gain some job experience before
graduation from the university or college:
volunteer work, part-time or summer job will
provide invaluable favor in the future. Such
experience will prove that you are able to
manage your time and combine academic and
work life effectively.
