Resume Help

[Hazelle]

Wasn't sure where to put this. Sorry.

Alright, so I need to start thinking about summer applications for internships, because you can never start soon enough. I made my resume, but it's only half a page. I have no prior job experience, no possible leadership/ involvement in any clubs...so I find myself stuck.
In career objective, it was a simple one sentence.
In skills I have 4 bullet points which include computer applications which I've used, typing speed, etc.
Afterwards, I listed my education with gpa.
Anyone have any tips to expand the resume just a tad longer?
And yes, I did google for help.
Thanks.

Re: Resume Help

In the case of someone with little or no job experience, one approach some people suggest is to list your skills and achievements instead of your history. I forget what that sort of resume is called, though.

Good luck!

Just try to use other, non-academic experiences. If you babysitted for someone before, you have leadership skills right there.If you've traveled before, you could talk about your enriching, cultural experiences. Even simple hobbies like like video making or playing street hockey with friends on the weekends will make you look well rounded.

Make shit up, back it up with good banter at your interviews.

Think about lisa simpson when she helped marge write her resume ;D
