It's hard to create a resume if you have little job experience or if you're a musician, artist, model, etc. Non-traditional resumes are an option. Listen to Youth Services Coordinator MacKenzie give a brief introduction to them. If you're between 14 and 21 and have more questions, call CORD at 508-775-8300 and ask for our youth services program. Older than 21? Call CORD and ask for our independent living program. Don't forget to check out CORD's YouTube channel for more videos! ... See MoreSee Less
