Question

what is a good explain of Professional Summary in a Resume for senior in high school with no work experience

Answer 1

Hello Shd,

Peter, who answered above, gave some really great advice. I agree with all that he has said, and I would add that there may be other kinds of work you have done outside of a professional, academic, or volunteer setting. If you've ever done any babysitting, helped your siblings with homework, given a hand to a neighbor with their yard work, handled household tasks like cleaning or getting food on the table, or participated in a hobby, group activity, or club, you've done work. It may not be professional work and it is something of value. It can be very difficult to create a resume or present yourself as a young professional when you do not have a lot of professional experience. I understand the feeling! What you do have are life experiences that reflect your work ethic, your style of working as a member of a team, your approach to problem solving, the kinds of environments your thrive in, your interests, and your values. These are the things an employer is ultimately looking for: a sense of you, how you work, and what you believe in. So, yes, include the academic strengths and the formal extracurricular activities you have, but also remember that any time you've worked hard at something is an example of you as a worker. Think of a non-academic experience or two that you feel demonstrate your strengths and don't be afraid to include them. Employers are reading this statement to get to know you, so take this opportunity to show them what you do have and resist focusing on what you don't have.

This is such a difficult task and it can bring up a lot of anxiety and shame, which makes so much sense and is so uncomfortable. But hey, think of it this way, every one who has ever had a job has also not had a job and has been in the same position! No need to feel ashamed! You're doing to work to put yourself out there, and you can feel good about that. Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

Hello Shd D.,

A good explanation of a professional summary in a resume for a high school senior who has no work experience would be a written overview of his/her strongest skills and talents that highlight the person's top-level strengths and prospects for the professional world. The professional summary (which can also be considered a/the Cover Letter) can include references to a high school senior's academic achievements, volunteer worked performed and community service hours attained, encapsulated within a general personal statement that will attract the eyes of prospective employers.

I hope this helps! Good luck with the job application process!
