What would look better on a resume?

We Answered:

I'd go with the physical rehab center. Not many people are interested in working in gerontology and it would give you an edge. Additionally, this would give you volunteer experience in physical medicine, which is different from developmental disabilities.

i need help for my Career Objective part on my resume? i'm 15?

We Answered:

It looks very good, however, if I was to give advice I would recommend it be written as follows ...

Confident, patient communicator with excellent skills working with people of all ages and walks of life seeking experience in the health-care field.

Get rid of the I, as it is understood. Remember a career objective is only the cherry on top of the cake ... it is the attention grabber, it is not to be used to provide your life story ... Since you are in high school and as you gain experience you might want to change your objective "Occupational therapy" as you gain experience and a greater understanding of the difference in the different health care fields ...

Good luck in your plans ...

Resume/CV for applying to grad school?

We Answered:

Do they want a resume or a C.V.? You are going to be much better off with a resume if you have a choice, you really won't have enough to have a C.V. They really just want things that are related to the field, so clubs aren't going to do you any good for grad school, that is a stupid undergrad thing, this is much more professional. I strongly suggest that you try to publish an article, that will be a major asset, it will show them that you are serious. Join a couple of associations/organizations. You don't have to do anything, just pay the fee, and it will show them that you are serious when you list it. Volunteering in the field is the third thing that you can do to strengthen your case.

PLZZZ...correct my resume!!?

We Answered:

The beginning is a little awkward with a few errors. I don't actually understand what you are trying to say with the first sentence...where have you shown your communication skills?

Also - "Qualifications" usually means the skills and training that make you able to do the job - not personal qualities. You can mention your personal qualities in describing the work or training that makes you right for the job. So I do not think "Good Personality" fits here.

"Being consulting" is not right - you usually do not have two words ending with "-ing" next to each other. I think you can just say "consulting."

Also say "7 years' experience" - "7 year old" is a child. :)

Is this a good career objective for a 15 year olds resume?

We Answered:

What about something like:

As a confident and patient communicator who enjoys working with people, I am seeking to gain (work) experience within health care in order to develop the range of my knowledge, understanding and skills and enable me to realise my long-term ambition (or goal) of working in the field of Occupational Therapy.

I've taken out the 'possibly' because, whilst you are still in the process of gaining enough life experience upon which to base your ultimate decision, at the moment working in OT is your long-term goal. I have left some choices for you to make - ambition or goal work equally well so you could use either just as you can use gain experience or gain work experience whichever feels best to you.

Good luck, I hope you find a suitable post that gives you the experience you want.
