No you're always free to apply to whichever job you desire.

For an employment position, use first person and explain how you handle the various requirements of the job. Good luck.

N/A - Not Applicable - Does not apply\n\nMOST employers KNOW that you don't have job experience. So it shouldn't matter if you skip over this section. \n\nYOU can put in VOLUNTEER work in that space. It is WORK, you just didn't get PAID for it.

Depends on what type of career you want.

Depending on your training can determine what job you do get. But I wouldn't worry too much, people who've served their country often get jobs very easily because of that fact.

Yes, it is quite OK.  You are going to have many jobs throughout your life time, until you find your career.  Sometimes you need experience with other jobs to learn your desires and gain some skills.

I think so\nbut you need to talk to your recruiter in your area.\nplus most likely you can if you pick an area of work\nthat requires you to in an office or something like that...and no front line stuff\nso go look into it..I bet you can\nGood Luck

Hi,\n\nDont think that I am degrading your opinion. Its too late to switch your field of working. Its better try to improve in your own field.\n\nThe reason is you do not have experience in software field and hence you should be considered as a fresher. But a fresher should be with in a specific age limit as per the norms of software companies.\n\nI could give you real examples. When software companies came to our institution for campus interviews, many of the companies did not selected two of my classmates since they had two to three years break in their history. The reason they gave is our norms is that a fresher should be with in certian age limit during selection.\n\nAnd an important thing is the two students are highly skilled both technically and in other aspects.\n\nI think you understand.\n\nBetter work for your growth in you own field or if you are very much interested in software, you can try to open a small software companry of your own and employ some workers and manage them.\n\nBest of Luck\n\n**********\nVasu M\n**********

Yes, mention it in your resume if it's part of your work experience.  If they ask about it during your interview, offer the documents that you have or a contact number wherein they can do a background check on you with your previous employer.

you can list as many as you want or in your case if you haven't worked at many jobs then list the ones that will benefit you for what you apply for

Market and salary depends on \n\ntype of experience you have \nwhat type of degree you have\nwhat field you worked in\nwhere in the US you will work\n\nYou can find jobs at:

No. Your resume is your sales pitch you need to try some creative definitions of the work performed if not in the same field\ntry to make a connection to the job you are going for and make it short.\nAdvertising rep working in a pizza place might include experience in direct marketing procedures and hands on client relations.\n(dropped off fliers with pizza) get it ,it's not a lie!\nResume is not the application form, the interview is where you close the deal and explain your commitment to past employers etc...

Well this is most difficult to answer as a developer, may be from HR point to view they want to filter the no. of applications from fresher. But once u get experiance in real time don't ask the question ' Why software companies ask year of experiance instead of what you perform' :)

You should not make a choice of a career based on what you think is a good employment field. You should make the choice based on what you like and what you are good at. \n\nAny prediction of  the employment situation 4 or 5 years from now is not likely to be very accurate. Any competent engineer will always do well. \n\nAlso many engineers end up working in field other than the one they got their degree in. One of the best mechanical equipment engineers in my company has a degree in electrical engineering.

If you excel, you should be able to get a comparable job in any of those fields.  You will be more likely to excel if you like the work you are doing.  So, I would recommend figuring out which one interests you more and going that way... The job market will fix itself.
