My first real job was as a furniture mover when I was 16. When it came time to put together a resume as I was graduating from college “picked up and moved heavy objects without getting hurt” was the best description I could come up with. I came across a copy of that first resume over the weekend and tried to recapture my frame of mind when I wrote it. I couldn’t.
