      You’re not a failure! Writing a resume is hard, like having to think about what you’ve done? I get it! If you don’t know what to put, try thinking about ANY experiences you’ve had that show you have skills. Skills can be anything from problem solving to quality assurance (this is actually a fancy word for proofreading). Trust me, you have skills! You just have to figure out the way to communicate them :)

      The money just becomes a crutch though. I live this way and I haven't worked in 6 years. You still have to budget every month like everyone else, and it's not enough money that you can essentially retire. I don't know your family's financial status but at a certain point, you will most likely have to return to the workforce. You have to stay relevant so that if you need to get a job, you can.

    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
      @ProfessorHeatherAustin  Рік тому +1

      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.

    My biggest frustration for writing a resume is that my school did not teach it at all which is mind blowing that its even legal to leave out such a thing from basic education. Furthermore the only answer I can find is " Its so easy just write it down" which is infuriating for someone that wants to join the workforce but cant due to lack of education. I never thought that i would need a degree to know basic life skills.

    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. Such a shame.

      @ProfessorHeatherAustin  11 місяців тому +1

      I completely understand your frustration. It's indeed a common challenge many face when starting out. The 'experience required' loop can be daunting. But here's the thing: many employers list experience as 'preferred' rather than 'mandatory.' So, don't let that deter you from applying. Additionally, consider internships, volunteer roles, or even projects you've undertaken in personal capacities or during your education as 'experience'. Remember, it's all about framing your skills and experiences in a way that resonates with the job description. Stay persistent and keep applying. Every rejection is one step closer to an acceptance. Best of luck! 🌟

    I do appreciate the template. However, I've read and heard the tips she names in the video a hundred other times. If you're reading this, download the template and follow the sections and ignore the video. If you want to watch the video anyways, turn to 1.25x speed and it starts at 1:57 and ends at 6:39.
    P.S. Also, if you're a student, expect to delete half the sample resume before completing. I found that empty space is better than the useless volunteer work (such as dog walking, or babysitting your siblings) and professional memberships (such as the chess club at your school) you may be a part of.
