Applying for a job with no relevant experience. What to say in the resume?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

So I am building a resume for a friend who is a Computer Science student and seeking an entry job in the industry. Problem is that he never had relevant jobs before. Jobs he had are:

• Cashier at a gas station
• Security guard

I know in some cases when irrelevant experience is worth mentioning, I should include two sections in the resume, Relevant Experience and Irrelevant Experience. But in this case:

• Should I include one section but add irrelevant jobs?
• Should I include both Relevant and Irrelevant sections, and add school projects to Relevant?
• Else?

Thank you!
