What do you recommend for my resume experience since I been out of work for 6 years? 2 1/2 years we were in a pandemic! 3 years I stayed home with my son while my husband worked and supported us! I’m looking into going back to the beauty industry as a lead esthetician for a well known company. Please help 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks in advance 🙌🏼
Hi Maria, thank you for the message. In this case, we’d suggest you use a combination resume format to emphasize your previous relevant experiences. Then use your cover letter to explain the gaps and elaborate on the skills (such as time management skills or multitasking) you picked up as a stay-at-home parent. If you need more in-depth details, here are two articles for your reference: - How to Explain Career Gaps resumegenius.com/blog/resume-help/resume-gaps - Stay-at-Home Mom Cover Letter resumegenius.com/cover-letter-examples/stay-at-home-mom-cover-letter Best of luck in your professional career journey!
Can someone please give me an idea. I’ve been a housewife for the last seven years taking care of my two girls but now I’m ready to go back to work but I’m not sure how to do a proper resume when my last work experience was January 2015. Does anyone has an idea that my help my resume sounds more professional please.
Hi Lucy, thanks for your question! We have a resource that can help you out on our blog: resumegenius.com/blog/resume-help/resume-gaps. We're also currently working hard to put out new content so let us know if you'd be interested in a video covering this topic in more detail. Best of luck on your job hunt! (And let us know if you have any more questions).
Hi! In this case, we’d recommend discussing your transferable skills (abilities you can easily transfer to new jobs). Try to explain in your resume or cover letter how specific skills from your previous job would match well with your target role (for example, you need patience for teaching students and picking fruits). Here are some articles for your reference: Transferable Skills: resumegenius.com/blog/resume-help/transferable-skills Career Change Resume: resumegenius.com/blog/resume-help/career-change-resume Career Change Cover Letter: resumegenius.com/blog/cover-letter-help/career-change-cover-letter Good luck with your job search!
If you check out the third chapter of our video at 2:43 you'll find that you don't need traditional in-office experience to apply for a job! "With no work experience, you can still fill out an 'experience' section with a variety of things such as your coursework, internships, volunteering, projects, or even fundraising. Think back to anything you’ve done, in school or outside of school, that relates to the job that you want." If you're still struggling, give our skills based CV template a shot. It doesn't even require you to have participated in internships or volunteer projects and just showcases your skills: resumegenius.com/blog/resume-help/skills-based-resume Best of luck in the job hunt!
@@Resumegenius so literally fill it with experience. not office experience is still an experience. no experience means no experience at all, let's suppose you just sat at home for many years learning something. you have skills but NO EXPERIENCE LITERALLY.

Had a lot of trouble playing parts speed up and froze. Tried multiple times. Still helpful from closed captions but frustrating playback.
Is it always useful to have an objective? I find it sometimes hard to fit it all in one page.
You don't always need one. But a resume objective can help you stand out from the crowd! Check out our next video that's covering this very topic! 😀
Hie how do l write a resume for a job not related with my profession ...for example teacher by profession and l want a resume for a fruit picker

Ah, yes, no experience resume => fill this section with your experience related to the job.
