<p>I've been awarded work study, and I now have to create a profile to send to employers. Under the heading of "Relevant Employment Information" there is a place to list skills, achievements, and volunteer and community activities. What kind of stuff am I supposed to put? Academic awards? High school activities?</p>
<p>Did you ever work in a restaurant? Office skills? Cashier?</p>
<p>Computer skills, math ability, writing ability, people skills (leading campus tours), etc.</p>
<p>Stuff Housing, Food Service, Department’s Office, assisting professor, etc. would care about.</p>
<p>Thank you. I’ve never had a job. Would it be inadvisable to leave those areas blank? I really don’t know what skills I have, if any. Are high school activities or awards relevant? I can’t see those things being of use to an employer.</p>
<p>They are looking for skills that could be used at a job. Are you literate using Excel, Powerpoint and Word? Have you had any leadership positions in school?</p>
<p>Awards are not relevant, but why you got the award, or what activities you did may be.</p>
<p>If you were the Year Book editor (activity), that might be relevant to an office job where they want you to proof read stuff. English related skills would be relevant for that job too.</p>
<p>If you worked at a soup kitchen, especially cooking, that would be similar to jobs in Food Service.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help, y’all.</p>
