    I tried helping my brother on that, it's a hard task though, especially when you're young in the market and without much experience.

    Johanna, it's terrific that you're helping your brother out! Writing résumés for folks who are new in the market can definitely be a challenge. People just starting out or changing fields especially need to show how they've achieved results for someone—even if it was in part-time or volunteer jobs—then connect the dots and tell the prospective employers how they can repeat that success.
