If you have formal paid work experience, include it. Otherwise, you can include informal work like babysitting, pet sitting, lawn mowing, shoveling snow, or anything else you've done to earn money. Even if you didn't collect a regular paycheck, informal work still displays skills and reliability.Â
If you have volunteered (accepted no money but provided your time), you should list that also (scroll down for some examples)
Internships can be included in a separate category (scroll down)
