Build a Resume and a LinkedIn Profile

September 4, 2026

Indeed Career Guide (indeed.com/career-advice/resumes-cover-letters). Free resume and cover letter guides, templates, and examples organized by industry and experience level, including entry-level.

CareerOneStop resume tools (careeronestop.org). The Department of Labor’s free guides, which pair well with their salary data so you know what to ask for.

LinkedIn (linkedin.com). Worth setting up even before you have much work history. Fill in your school, any coursework relevant to the field you want, volunteer work, and part-time jobs. Follow the employers you are interested in. In Wichita, most large employers post openings there first.

What to put on a resume when you have no experience. Coursework, class projects, volunteer work, sports, clubs, church activities, caring for family members, and any job at all, including seasonal. Employers hiring for entry-level roles are looking for reliability and evidence you can learn, not a decade of history.

Get it reviewed for free, in person. The Workforce Centers of South Central Kansas offer free resume assistance in Wichita. Bring the actual job posting.
