UPDATE: I'm having trouble with my resume. It's basically highlighting just how much experience I DON'T have. I want to somehow explain in my resume why I don't have any experience yet (switching majors so often, using summers to catch up in those majors).
I'm using this resume building software (Optimal Resume) that is recommended by my school, and it generates sections that I have to fill in. I can choose to edit or add sections though.
My major is Supply Chain and Operations Management
Qualifications Summary: Uhhh... I don't have any other than the classes I've taken. I just joined my school's Supply Chain Management club?
Accomplishments: All of my accomplishments have nothing to do with Supply Chain or Operations. They have to do with photography and beginner web building.
Related Experience: I have none other than the classes I've taken!
Education: got that
Leadership: nothing glorious like chairman of a business organization or anything. Was the tech leader for a summer overseas program and currently am the photographer for my school's Asian American Association.
Skills: MS Word, Excel, Access, Dreamweaver, PowerPoint, Photoshop, very strong digital photography skills
Professional Memberships: Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, Institute for Supply Management, Exporters.SG, the first two of which I JUST joined...
**********************
It's my senior year and I have a career fair coming up at my university on the 19th of September. I really should start applying for jobs and stuff, but I'm worried I don't have enough experience.
I'm a Business Supply Chain and Operations Management major. I've never had an internship. I have a 3.0 (business school GPA will be higher). My time at college has been really rocky.
Freshman:
Started freshman year at Cornell as an undeclared engineering major.
Didn't like the subject, was doing pretty badly, wanted to switch to Biology in Arts and Sciences but some ridiculous policy resulted in me being put on a mandatory leave of absence for a year.
Summer:
Took Biology classes in summer school at Cornell to try and make up time lost as an Engineer.
Sophomore:
During my mandatory leave of absence I went to school at Miami University in Ohio as a Biology major planning to do Premed.
Summer:
During summer I took Organic Chemistry at Miami to try and get ahead and make up time lost as an Engineer at Cornell. Decided in Organic Chemistry that Biology and Premed weren't for me.
Junior:
Decided to stay at Miami because I was mad at Cornell for kicking me out and my family was breathing easier with the in-state tuition.
Changed my major to Electrical Engineering because I wanted to give it another go. I've been pushed all my life to be an engineer of some sort, or a doctor.
Took electrical engineering classes, did extremely badly and decided I was absolutely fed up with science and calculus and engineering.
Changed my major to Undeclared Business.
Summer:
Took business classes to, you guessed it, try and make up time lost as previous majors.
Senior:
Took intro to business classes. Decided I liked business a LOT more. Changed my major to Supply Chain and Operations Management.
Summer:
Went on a two month long international business trip to China, South Korea, and Japan. Plant visits, host family stays, etc.
Got back and during the rest of summer took business classes to, again, try and make up time lost as previous majors and graduate at the end of this school year.
Super Senior:
I'm here now. No internship experience. No work experience. No outside extracurricular activities. No interview experience. GPA has been really brought down by my previous majors (getting to a 3.0 overall has been tough). Have credits out the whazoo, which means my overall GPA isn't going to change much from 3.0 from now on. Don't even have a resume yet. I do have a Chinese minor, but I suck at reading and writing Chinese, and sorta passable at speaking it. I'm hoping to do my last semester overseas in Hong Kong because it is a really good place for Supply Chain people. No guarantee if I can get into the program. In fact it's pretty slim.
EDIT: I would really really like to work for a company that has something to do with cameras or photography, like Canon, Nikon, Pentax... or camera accessory companies like Slik, Bogen-Manfrotto, etc. because I would have a sincere passion for the products. Not to mention I'd like to eventually move into a position where I can have a say in designing products, like what features to put into a product and so on. Not the actual engineering, but more of the marketing and giving the final a-ok before the product goes to market.
I don't know if I'd like to work for a company like P&G... overseeing operations for making laundry detergent... yay.
