Can anyone give me some tips for writing a resume with hardly any work experience? I'm 20 and only had casual jobs -i don't feel like I have enough to fill a page. Help a brother out.

If you wanted to beef up your resume, I would recommend listing each of your casual jobs and under each one, write a few sentence blurb about what you enjoyed about the role and what you excelled at and then list the tasks you did. If you're applying for a specific job, try to make the blurb and things you excelled in relevant or the same 'key' words they've included in the job listing. Good luck! :)

It's tough starting out...we've all been there. It can help to spend a bit of time thinking about what you're good at and enjoy doing. Chances are those are the skills employers want to hear about.
