You may believe that a resume is difficult to write when you are applying for an entry-level job.
You are right. But it is as difficult to create when you are applying for a position for which you are experienced. That is because every resume is a different document, written for a separate purpose.
When you write a resume, your primary purpose is to reach out to a prospective employer, and offer your services in a role.
Writing an entry-level resume requires just a little bit of tact, where experience is concerned. Since you do not have much experience to boast here, it is best to concentrate on your skills.
If you have had some volunteer or internship experience, you can always put that in to maximize your chances. To see how this can be done successfully, have a look at the following resume sample for a city carrier position:
