If the profile form asks for work experience and you have none, the guided questions are the way in. Twenty short questions — what you studied, whether you have ever fixed a phone, sold something, kept a page online, been paid for anything, taught somebody.
Why they work
Almost nobody has nothing. They have things they do not think of as experience: helping in a shop, running an Instagram page for a club, fixing computers for neighbours, taking money for a family business. Real hiring evidence, written down in a form a recruiter recognises.
How to answer them
- One sentence is enough. It is a first draft, not a covering letter.
- Be specific about what you did. “Made posters for a college fest and handled the Facebook page” beats “helped with events”.
- Numbers if you have them. Four classes, 30 students, NPR 8,000 of sales, 400 followers.
- Skip a question if it is genuinely not you. A thin honest CV beats a padded one.
Where the answers go
They become a section on the CV the wizard builds for you, and the strongest ones are promoted into your master profile so every later CV has them too. You can edit or remove any promoted line afterwards in Career Profile — nothing is locked in.
Two things worth knowing: the wizard does not touch your existing work experience or education, and it never writes a summary for you out of thin air. It puts your own words where a recruiter looks for them.
Once it is finished, print the CV and read it as a stranger. Then go and read which design to print.
