Empty resume, what can I do?

I'm a senior at a non-target university with a sub 3.5 GPA. I never held a job, never had any internships, and haven't networked at all. My resume consists of my personal information and a section for education, nothing else at all. I would love to get into asset management. What can I put on it? Thanks for your help.

Nothing at all. My family situation is extremely difficult, and I realize that I can't use that as an excuse. I just fell into a rut, wasn't able to overcome it, and now I'm trying to catch up. I grew up in poverty and no one can offer me career advice simply because they never had anything higher than a "job".

 

You can start by volunteering, helping back people in need. Then you can build up connection, then start socialising around your university by joining societies and attending careers events. It's fine if you don't put much info, people know that you're only an upcomming uni student. Good luck!

 

I won't be able to get an internship with what I have? I graduate at the end of this year and will be homeless if I can't land anything. I haven't volunteered or went to career events due to the lack of money (gas, suits, etc..) Thanks for the replies! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it a lot.
