How to apply for jobs when you have no work experience

• Highlight Leadership Experience - If you have held a leadership position at a club or similar extracurricular activity, it is worth mentioning your experience on your resume. For each position, you should highlight your duties and accomplishments 

• List any odd jobs you have done - Any odd-job will help you develop the skills required to be a worthwhile employee, and potentially act as a reference when applying for your first job.  

• Find our marketable skills - Marketable skills could be as simple as fluency in another language or organizing an after-school club to develop leadership skills and initiative. If you maintain strong attendance and GPA at school, you can include this information on your resume because it shows employers that you work hard and take absenteeism seriously 

• Include any volunteer experience and extracurriculars - It might not have paid money, but volunteer experience still counts as valuable work experience. Extracurriculars are good to include on a resume too because it shows employers that you manage your time well and have experience working within a team.
