Hi there,
Looking for some advice on my resume.
I feel really comfortable with all of my details for my jobs after my first one out of college. I am stuck on what to write. I worked for my parents and ultimately their hope was that I take over the family business. After about 8 months, I realized it wasn't for me so went elsewhere.
All of the tasks that I took part in were nothing to brag about. I would do typical day-to-day activities of a small business. Answer phones, administer payroll, enter data into the CRM system, manufacture the products.
Since then, my accomplishments have been quantifiable but that first job I am really struggling with what to write.
Any tips or direction on where I can go with this?
Also, what part of the application process to most prospective students go to admissions consultants for? Is it the essay or do some go for the resume or do the majority just get admissions consultants to go through the whole thing?

I would be able to give the best advice if I saw the rest of your resume and any drafts of these bullets that you have done so far. At that point it shouldn't be a big deal to come up with powerful language that explains what you did in the most impressive way. Especially since it is a family business and you did a variety of things, I wouldn't be too worried about that. I'm happy to do that for you if you want to send me your resume.
In terms of when folks use an admissions consultant, most of my clients sign up for the entire process, including resume review, personal story development, school selection, essay editing, LOR guidance, interview preparation, etc. That said, the bulk of the hours spent are on the essays themselves. Let me know if you have any other questions or want to discuss further.
