Everyone starts somewhere. Employers hiring for entry-level, part-time and holiday jobs know you will not have years of experience. Show that you are reliable and keen to learn.
Put education first
List your school or study, NCEA level and any subjects or achievements that relate to the job.
Use everything that counts
- Volunteering, for example at a sports club, marae or community event
- Babysitting, lawn mowing, helping in a family business
- School roles: prefect, team captain, club member
- Personal projects you are proud of
Show transferable skills
Teamwork, communication, time management and customer service matter in almost every job. Give a short example for each.
