Everyone (I hope) has done something, not always for a paycheck. Caregiver, Stay-at-home parent, home-based business, volunteer work either at school, some organization, your place of worship (if you are so inclined).

Stop and think about what you have done, even if it was not for pay, but if it did have an impact or effect, you can count that as experience.

No, don't leave it empty. Start with a good summary of who you are and your goals, then list your work experiance in order, most recent first, then list (highlight) your skills that pertain to your field.

A resume need not be organized around work experience, but around skills.

For a young, inexperienced worker, that is what I would suggest.

What skills do you have? Where and how did you acquire them?

Where applicable to what work expericence you have, mention it.

Just a suggestion.

Add some volunteerism you have done.
They like that extra-curricular stuff for a charity.

Google is perfect for this kind of stuff. And because so many searches
are so common, if you type in the phrase "how do you make a resume
without" ... Google will automatically finish the sentence for you, even
before you are done typing.

List anything you want. Nobody actually checks.

**LoP Guest** lop guest User ID: 14479 04-25-2012 08:44 PM

just list a bunch of companies that are no longer in business, or make up business names.
make up your titles and bosses as well.

**LoP Guest** lop guest User ID: 81468 04-25-2012 08:45 PM

Yeah skills is clearly the key if experience isn't the best

Do they trace if you post a fake job?,

that's why you say just post Volunteering?

I am seeking to expand my work experience they can't see it as negative
that in these hard times people have no experience.

You know I kinda agree with this, they will make their decision based on
Skills and how the interview goes. If anything they might feel bad if they don't see a long work experience.

I think they just want to know if you went
to school/college, if you're not some criminal, and if you will do what they ask for what they are offering right away.

I think about stuff to much sometimes and forget how this realm works,
thanks for the help and assumptions guys.

Speaking of which, at my recent interview my interviewer gave me a dumb founded look when I presented her with my college transcript. I naturally assumed they would like to see some evidence that your resume isn't bs but i guess not
