Does resume writing advice just make you feel more inadequate?

Examples of resumes always enumerate at least 3 outstanding items, but most people just can't list them which is why they need help with their resumes in the first place.





For example, if you weren't able to get an internship and were turned down for volunteer work for lack of appropriate experience, or you weren't the captain of your college football team or president of the business club or school, etc.? Or you didn't save the last company a million dollars by discovering an accounting error or something?Does resume writing advice just make you feel more inadequate?
I'm sorry that they are making you feel inadequate. My guess is you are a new graduate, and resume helping advice on the web, and in print seems to leave out that part of the readership. They(authors of the advice) just aren't speaking to you is all.





I hope the website below can help.





In the meantime, don't worry about how outstanding your accomplishments are or aren't. You are young and employers don't expect you to be Superman just quite yet. Put your mediocre accomplishments down on your resume, like you were a member of the business club. You don't have to be President!





I always laugh because people lie on their resumes, and there are usually 60 people Mayor of Phoenix, all at the same time! Hey there has to be Indians to every chief! Mediocre accomplishments make you look well honest, and that's a good trait to have in an employee! Also being a follower is just as important as being a leader!





Feeling better all ready aren't you?
