Is there a way to say "i was employed by my parents" on a resume

[thegoat121886]

without explicitly saying that? I assist them unofficially in their property management and im trying to fill this work history gap. They don't have a business name or anything which is the problem

 

[ins]

Make up a name.
Kevins property management firm....... done

many people work for their parents, especially its a large company. like other people say make up a name for your parents business and play it off like it something important. no reason for them to look down on you if it was actual work that you were doing.

Sorry to be off topic with this but for those that resell kicks online (and make a good amount off of it), have u ever put that on a resume?? Because I know a couple of people/youngins that were making enough off reselling kicks that they didn't need a real job at the time

not really, since you probably didnt pay taxes on it.  so your profit was "under the table" no?

if you're getting into something professional on the sales side it could be of benefit if you mention it as a side business you do on your own. If you can explain it well and demonstrate how those skills can translate, it might be worth putting in

Put them as a reference instead?

I worked for my parents basically once I was in High School, I would put it on my resume under my parents company name (I wouldn't state that it was my parents company) I would list the responsibilities, duties. All work experience counts on your resume.

 

[you go boy]

all you really need is a title of the company for your resume... when you go on the actual interview you don't have to discuss its your parents company but instead just tell them your responsibilities...
