Writing A Resume When You're New To The Field Of Childcare
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2016 7:20 am
Hello Everyone!
I'm hoping there are a few of us out there who are currently studying or have just finished studying their Certificate III in Early Childhood E&C, who are also complete newbies to the field and can help me with my dilemma My question is, if you wish to look for work right when you start the certificate and want to upload resume/cover letters to recruitment sites, drop them off at potential centres or respond to positions you find available online, how do you write that all important resume and cover letter when you have no prior experience except for the passion to work with children and currently studying your certificate III?
As a mature-age student, I have a lot of life experience and plenty of skills I've used successfully in other careers (and life!) that I can apply to my new career in childcare, should I focus on those? Does anyone know of a resume/cover letter template I can read somewhere online to start me in the right direction?
Thank you!!
