Can anyone help out with resume writing?

Published

Hello!

Right now I'm half way through the CNA course that is required as part of pre-nursing. We are starting to get into the swing of clinicals and I have done extremely well with the quizzes that we've had. I have just began thinking about the possibility of working as a CNA (I'm currently a stay-at-home mom).

I'm having difficulty with even starting on a resume since my work experience has been only non-healthcare customer service and clerical in nature. What would I include in the resume if I haven't yet begun working as a CNA. There are some facilities nearby that will hire before a candidate becomes certified so that's what I'm thinking of doing. So, basically, what info should I put? I know that I should include the community college where my course is held, what I'm learning in the class. Do I include past jobs that have nothing to do with healthcare? Do I include the fact that I will be seeking certification upon completion of the course? What would be a suitable objective? Like I said, I've written resumes plenty of times in the past but this is a totally new career direction I'm taking so I have no idea what I'm doing and am very nervous.

Thanks for any and all advice!
