What type of internships can I look into while working towards my degree in Sociology and Anthropology?
I am looking for an internship for my senior year in my undergraduate studies. I'm looking because it seems to me that most students receive jobs faster when they have done an internship at some point throughout their college career. It seems to be a great way to get my foot in the door, build up my resume, and find a job in the long run. #internships #undergraduate #sociology #resume-writing #anthropology #intern #gerontology

I just got an offer from a recruiter yesterday. She asked me to send my resume to her email since I want to have an internship to explore the different industries. The recruiter offered me free training in web development. Although, my resume has no experience related to the "web development" field.

How should I prepare myself for a first job? How do I organize my resume, if I'm a minor, preparing to apply for my first job?
As of a month ago, I officially turned 16, which has given me a broader base of jobs to go after and apply for. I'd like to start applying for jobs, and hopefully, work a steady job before I turn 17, so I can develop my resume history and work-place skills. But all the jobs near me require experience, references, and certain skills that only trained professionals and/or graduate students have.

How to be an outstanding candidate when applying for jobs?
I have just graduated from college and looking for a job. I understand that the job market is tougher this time to make matters worse some say there might be a recession coming. I try to put the best in my CV and resume and tailor them to a particular company I send it to. Other than work experience, academic projects, co-curricular activities, voluntary activities, testimonials and recommendations from my professors is there anything else that would look good in my resume. Unfortunately my GPA isn't high and that puts me in disadvantage. The candidates that get selected for the job I want have accomplished something great in the respective areas mentioned above. However, I was not an active member in clubs and societies and my final year project was not among those selected for poster session despite the hardwork. Poster session is where you display and present your project to the public in campus. The only thing I am good at is my hobbies. I understand that seeking employment would take time for me. I would appreciate if you could provide any advice on this matter. #college #resume #employment #resume-writing #skills #job-market

Is there a cut-off for relevant information on resumes on Linked In, or should you include everything?
**For everyone who doesn’t have a LinkedIn and is reading this, I’d advise you to make one right now! It helps a lot, and even just making one and adding new things to it helps so much! LinkedIn is getting increasingly more popular with both employers and job-seekers. My university highly suggests making a LinkedIn, and offers tons of workshops and presentations to urge students to get… linked in (pun most definitely intended). On Linked In, there are options for including accomplishments, projects, volunteer experience, and more. Is it better to include everything you’ve done on Linked In, or just the more important or more interesting parts? I understand it's better for your profile to reflect a balanced profile, but this gets fuzzy at times. For example, I’m currently a freshman in college. Do you think I should still include volunteering experience from when I was in 9th grade? What kind of a filter should you use for discerning what to put on Linked In or any CV/resume? What if you don't have many things to write about--should you just only include necessary information or add small things to your profile as well? #career #resume #writing #resume-writing #linkedin #professional-development #professional-training #job-application
