HOW TO WRITE A RESUME WITHOUT ANY EXPERIENCE
Having no work experience is a common problem for many school leavers, university graduates and college students, and this can seem quite daunting when you read a job description, asking for already established work experience. You, then think ‘how am I supposed to get a job, when everyone wants experience?’. ‘How do you get your break?’, you may be forgiven for asking.
There are several ways, that you can get on the employment ladder. A common way is via an apprenticeship, or via a school placement, via a connection in your family, if you are lucky!
Another way is to submit a brilliant CV which stands out, and convinces the recruiter to give you a chance, regardless of your lack of work-related experience. In this guide, we will show you how to create a professional and comprehensive CV or resume, which will impress the assessor, to place yours in the YES pile and not the bin!
SKILLS FOR CVs WITH NO EXPERIENCE
When you leave school or university, and you apply for your first job, it is very likely that you will have to submit a first-time resume or CV. The purpose of this is so the employer can assess that you are suitable for the role and the organisation, before putting you forward for an interview, or the next stage of the selection process.
You will also be required to include any relevant work experience and skills, that you have demonstrated in the past. However, as a school leaver or fresher, it is likely you do not have any work experience to add. So, what do we do? Give up? Of course not! We need to focus on our transferable skills and achievements from other areas of our life, such as course work, school work, your personal achievements and your time at university if applicable. For you, we have listed a few of the transferable skills you could include:
• Be safety-conscious and able to operate under safety-critical conditions.
• Be responsible for your actions at all times and act with honesty and integrity.
• Follow and adhere to rules, procedures, and operational practices.
• An ability to learn and absorb large amounts of job-specific information.
• Be a great communicator and be able to communicate verbally and in writing.
• Have collaborated with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
• Take responsibility for your own personal and professional development.
• Maintain your own suitable levels of physical and mental fitness.
• Be able to react calmly in pressurised situations.
Included in the guide is a full list of skills, competencies, and values that you should include on your CV! Not only this, but we will demonstrate how these can be applied to a winning CV without any work experience.
ADVICE FOR SUBMITTING THE PERFECT CV WITH NO EXPERIENCE
READ THE JOB DESCRIPTION AND FIND THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS
To give yourself the best chance of success, you will need to read the job description thoroughly to understand the skills and attributes required for the role. Also, ensure you find out the organisation’s values. Once you have all of this information, ensure your CV is tailored to match it.
THINK, THEN MATCH the skills!
Once you have determined the required skills, competencies, and values for the position you are applying for, write them down, and then stop to think. Have you ever had a similar related experience to the skill being assessed? If yes, then make a note of it as you can implement this as part of your CV. This could be from any area of your life, school, university, hobbies, interests or free time.
UNDERSTAND THE PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS
Included within this guide is a list of powerful sample keywords, phrases, and sentences that we feel are a close match for the assessable competencies that you are likely to be assessed against when applying for any job. Please ensure you read the job description fully for any specific organisation requirements.
Know what is on your cv
If you are successful in getting through the CV stage, the potential employer will retain your CV and will refer to it during the selection process. You should remember that, if you say you are good at something on your CV, you will be asked to back those claims up with evidence at the interview. For example, if you write on your CV that you are “totally customer-focused and will always uphold the values and service standards of the company” you will most probably have to provide examples of when you have already demonstrated these claims, during your interview.
