In many cases, employers would like to hire fresher employees – those with a little to no work experience.
With an aim to find effective performers (or to ‘create’ good performers), they would want to recruit motivated/educated people that are seeking to start their careers.
It is known that many professionals with years of experience are hard to adjust for changes – especially when they change jobs and get new responsibilities.
In the other hand, entry level positions have the potential of the following strong aspects:
- Ability to quickly learn from scratch.
- Adjusting to new work environment.
- Easily gaining new skills – without difficulties.
These people are called “white boards” or “white papers”..
Writing a resume for those with no work experience is challenging. Here is an example of a resume of a talent (highly educated person).
This guy has no work experience but his resume still looks impressive.
