Clerk Resume with No Experience

Updated on: July 21, 2016

If the idea of securing an entry-level job with good long-term career growth appeals to you, then your first step is the resume. The first job that you hold is important for a number of reasons – the most important is the fact that it kick-starts your career. So a well-written resume is essential.

The younger you are, the more likely it is that you will use information from your days at high school when writing a resume. If you have reached a level where you do not need to use this information – because there is so much more in-between – then you are lucky. But to get to that point, it is essential to sparkle at the beginning.

Resumes that do not talk about experience, they talk about a million other things. Your activities and interests in things related to the job that you are applying for, can be real assets. They display a great deal about you. An odd summer job or internship will also say a great deal about how well-suited you are for the job that you are now applying for.

Some entry-level clerk resume writing tips:

• Pay careful attention to grammar, punctuation and spellings
• Organize information in a logical manner
• Keep descriptions to the point and very clear
• Confine your resume to one page
• Use simple and easy to read fonts such as Times New Roman and Calibri
• Include as much work experience as possible, such as volunteer work and internships
