If you have never had a job before, your resume should show how your skills meet the requirements for the position you are seeking. After providing your full name and contact information in the header of your resume, you may either write a summary statement or objective statement. Some new jobseekers appreciate how an objective statement can explain your interest in a certain position. A summary statement allows you to bring up your skills near the top of your resume. While your skills or qualifications section may be easy to write, you may encounter difficulties when it comes to planning your experience section. You may list part-time or work-study positions, internships, or extracurricular activities. If you still are not sure what to include, some resume experts recommend structuring this section based on the major requirements for the job you are seeking. An employer reading your resume for your first job should get a sense of your skills and professionalism even though you are just starting your career. You may find resume samples for early-career candidates useful as you prepare to write your resume.
