Even if you don’t have a formal work history, you can focus on qualifications other than paid work experience. If you’re a student, fresh graduate, or career shifter, there are other details worth adding to your resume. Here are some examples: a. Internship experience b. Part-time, freelance, or summer jobs (as long as the experience and skills gained from them are relevant to the job) c. Volunteering experience in charities, non-profit organizations, barangay-sponsored programs or activities, etc. d. Extracurricular activities in school (such as membership or leadership experience in student organizations, campus publications, etc.) e. Certifications, languages, hobbies, and interests f. Past projects or a small business you’re currently running g. Character references h. General weighted average (GWA) i. Relevant seminars, workshops, conferences, or online courses attended Moreover, highlight your education and soft skills. To do that, use the functional resume format that plays up skills and education and downplays work experience.
