How many previous jobs do you have on your resume?

Should my resume have previous jobs only relating to the one I'm applying for?

  • The question is: Should my resume have previous jobs only relating to the one im applying for? Extra information: I'm 20 years old and am 4 months away from completing my A/S in accounting. Now I have applied for many job openings and have received emails stating "They have found applicants who provide more relative experience." On my resume as of now I list my 3 employers and they're all automotive related including the used car dealership I owned and operated myself. I was thinking if I edit my resume stating that I'm a student who has volunteered in accounting positions that it would give me a better edge. ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks!!

  • Answer:

    Yes, if you're applying for accounting jobs you should list your accounting experience, even if it's voluntary rather than paid. You could also push the fact that (assuming you did) you have dealt with the accounts of your own business.
