If you want to be in mensa, then do it .. no probs with that mate

Just be selective about who you tell..

have no skills, currently a uni student
got past work experience
2 years of kfc
6 months pizza hut
1 year guitar teaching (from home so not for any kind of buisness or anything)

That's more work experience than I had when I left high school ..

Most employers don't care about your achievements, all most of them care about is if you're a hard worker ..

As for your resume, it's all about playing to your strengths .. if you worked in fast food, you put on your resume that you have "Excellent customer service skills" .. "Proficient in Point of Sales computer systems" .. "Food Service skills"
Whatever it is, take the job duties you had in those roles & put a positive spin on it ..
You taught guitar lessons, so you have "teaching experience" "Good Communication skills" bla bla bla

Not sure what you're studying at Uni, or what kind've job you're looking for, but you need to change your resume for the type of jobs you are applying for .. for example if you were applying to work as a farm hand, then YES you would definitely have to take Bestiality off your resume .. unless you're wanting to move to New Zealand.. in which case it's a job requirement for any industry

thanks for the advice, careers was never a big thing at my school so we never learnt anything. most of us skipped the lessons after turning up to 2-3 and realising it was bullshit
so i never learnt anything about employers or what they want

Your Uni probably has a careers centre that you could go talk to & get them to work out your resume / probably get you some work experience (volountary no doubt) in the field you wanna work in.. might even turn into a full time job afterwards.. otherwise just go talk to recruitment companies & they should help with what to do in interviews / help with your resume etc..

ah k

big thanks for all the info on this stuff guys (especially ftevolution and mr-charisma)
it may not seem like much to you but this has really made my week and has been extremely helpful
