Resume Writing Explained

Help! How can I make a resume if I have nothing to put on it?

I am officially doomed to be at McDonald’s forever if something doesn’t change.

I was trying to write a resume in order to look for a better job, but I can’t think of anything to put down.

I worked at McDonald’s on and off for 3 years. It was on and off mainly because my mom made me quit then told me to go back so much. I started in October 2007. I don’t remember when I quit again or any of that. All I know is that I’m 19 now, and living with my dad. I got a job there again in March 2010 and I don’t plan on leaving until I find something to do with my life.

I graduated high school in 2009, but my gpa was really really really really low. I got into a university, but I flunked out…go figure.

I want to start at a community college this fall, and work my way up towards a major in finance or something, but does a community college look okay on a resume?

I don’t even know what to put as an objective statement! I was hoping to get a job at a bank, but my chances are looking really slim right now.

Please help. I need to get my life together.

don’t worry. you can figure it out. remember that everyone’s resume started off as a blank page, even the most succesful people…
- start with your name, address, phone number, e-mail
- include your high school and graduation date, community college is fine on a resume
- work experience (even something as simple as babysitting)
- any skills: do you speak another language? do you have typing skills? can you use microsoft word? excel?
- community service, awards, or significant hobbies

also, practice your interview skills to offset a mediocre resume. best of luck.
