It is easy to think that you are at the back of the queue, since you have no work experience to show.
– It is important to remember everything you have done in life. It is almost guaranteed that everyone has something they can point to, without formal work experience, says editor of Nav Jobblyst, Kristin Dahl.
Here are some examples of what you can include in your resume:
1. Have you participated in leisure activities? Then you have probably gained good experience with teamwork.
2. Are you a gamer? Then you may have gained technical competence that others do not have. You communicate in other languages and you manage stress while maintaining focus.
3. Have you shopped for family members during the corona era? Then you show that you have stood your ground and that you contribute to society.
4. Have you worked as a volunteer? Then you have gained work experience, even if you have not received a formal salary.
5. Have you been in practice through school or have you participated in a working week in upper secondary school?
6. Courses and assignments.
Do you have no references to refer to? Or do you want to write about how someone else describes you as a person?
– References can be a football coach, manager at the volunteer center or a teacher, says Dahl.
