How to write a professional summary on your resume that doesn't suck 👀 

My family and I were just talking about how millennials were swindled into taking out student loans. It was the biggest lie of our generation. It was presented to us by our high schools, our youth groups, our parents, the TV shows we watched, books, movies, magazines, everywhere we looked, that going to college was just the next logical step after completing high school, and that you would be a broke ass loser if you didn’t earn a college degree in something. So we had an entire generation of people taking out $100,000 in student loan debt to study something useless like philosophy and then they ended up working at Home Depot and couldn’t earn enough money to pay back their student loans. I am in interior designer, and that’s definitely something I could’ve done without going to college. My husband is a cyber security engineer, which isn’t even when he majored in. My brother has his bachelors degree and government and works as a manager of a grocery store. None of us really used our degrees very much… There are so many things that young people should be taught in high school before heading off to the next step, whether that is college or whatever it may be.

Hi@@sayhello5377 . I farted while reading your comment.

Exactly

You can learn it online. Teachers don’t have time to teach everything!

@@sayhello5377if you chose to take out student loans for a career that is useless or one that doesn’t require official credentials that’s on YOU. Take ownership that you failed to do the background investigation prior to handing over your money to a school that will gladly take it. HS Counsellord aren’t qualified to give advice.

I’m also in high school applying for jobs. I’d say a good way to show virtue without experience is to list extracurriculars in which you showed (virtue required by job)

Learn to be rich get as much education as you can but learning to sell real estate is a game changer the years you have now are so important Golden make a plan you have untill your 30 to shape your lifestyle

Could u please assist me with my resume? 😊

I don't have anything super insightful to say but I will say that, with a hiring manager like that, you definitely dodged a bullet with that place!

You need to understand the game you are playing. The requirements of the game are Resume, and Cover Letter, and Interview. These are the standard. If you don't have a Resume, make one. What kind of jobs are you applying for, what do you want?

Hi, I'm sorry you had that awful encounter. I do advise you make a resume even if you have limited work experience. But I also want to encourage you to add things that aren't necessarily paid work experiences. For example, I would translate some of your stay-at-home-mother experience as transferable skills, such as multitasking, adaptable, detailed-oriented, organized. Try to include hard and soft skills. You can google/youtube "Resume Writing" for students as a comparable situation to yours because of your limited job experience. Also include any volunteer work, even if it was just helping someone out with a community event for one day or your children's school with an event. I would even say your spouse/family--maybe you regularly manage your family calendar or plan meals? Most importantly, if you're a Christian, pray to God for this and leave it in His hands. At times we focus too much on what we lack/our supposed power over situations, but when we put our complete faith in the Lord, He opens doors no one can close and closes doors no one can open. He makes us find favor in other's eyes. May God bless you and help you in your job-seeking trial.

I forgot to mention that there are jobs I've heard most stay at home mothers have success in getting, such as transcribing or call center teleworking. Maybe they are more open to entry-level people? It's worth a try :)

@@betzaidanolasco2889you’re a good person. Keep living

I recently had an interview where the manager recommended that I use a functional resume instead of a chronological one. There are templates out there, but you summarize different skills you've acquired over the years instead of listing job descriptions, then list job titles and time in bullet points. I had a lot of skills and experience that applied to the role but she had no idea until we spoke due to me using a standard format that didn't allow for a full description of what I did at each job. Hope that helps!

@@odevita you rock my socks! Thank you so much for taking the time to throw this much needed epic knowledge at me! I super appreciate you! 💗🌷

@@KRM369 happy to help! It's harder when you've jumped industries or even just worn a ton of hats at a company and I didn't even know that format existed until the interviewer brought it up. Wishing you the best of luck in your job search 🤞🏽🤞🏽

@@odevita exactly, you have cleared my mind immensely. Blessings to you!!

What’s with commenting on others’ appearances when it’s not relevant or constructive? 1) filters exist and are morally neutral 2) go work on your resume and make sure to include nitpicking and judging as one of your top skills. Check yourself.
