Sample Resume - VCE + No Paid Work Experience
(A Youth Central Sample Resume)
Use this sample resume as a basis for your own resume if you:
• Have completed (or are currently completing) VCE
• Have little or no formal (paid) work experience
If you've finished or are currently doing VCE (or an equivalent) but you haven't had much - or any - paid work
experience, this sample resume can help you focus on the personal attributes you can contribute to the needs of an
organisation.
This sample resume has been designed to focus on:
• A marketing statement that highlights your capabilities and demonstrates what you bring to the job
• Personal attributes that will help you to transition into the work environment
• Any achievements, commendations or awards you received at high school that show you are honest and
reliable
• Any volunteer placements that demonstrate your willingness to contribute to the community
Other things you can put on your resume include:
• Any sporting or community club participation (if relevant to the job)
• Work placements or work experience that show you know how to work in a professional environment
• Key skills that demonstrate your employability (and examples of their use)
• Written testimonials provided by supervisors, sporting club coaches, teachers or others involved in volunteer
and community clubs
• Any hobbies or interests that are relevant to the job
This sample resume is one page long. A one-page resume is more than acceptable when you're just starting out in the
world of work. You may end up with two pages if you include all of the suggested additional information.
If your resume ends up being three pages long, you're probably providing too much information - try cutting some things
out and sticking to two pages maximum.
