Resumes open the door to interviews

There are many websites which can teach you how to write a resume.  The hard thing for a recent grad is to have something to talk about.  Talking about your summer internships is one way to do that.  Your clubs and volunteer work are worth a mention, but I would not put down any political or religious groups on your resume.

Talk about the responsibilities you had. Talk about the projects you worked on.  


Talk about  how you are interested in their goals for their company. I read resumes everyday.  I must admit I get tired of people telling me they want a "challenging position where I can learn about ..."   Do not be "me centered".  No one wants to pay you to learn.  They want to pay you to move the company ahead of the competition.   Companies want to do things better, faster and cheaper. Do you want to do research?  A lot of companies really need that and they will be very glad to pay you to search the web and write concise papers about the competition.

Maybe they want to sell products to Millennials and they need your opinion on  their advertising.  Companies are VERY concerned about disruptive change in the future of their markets.  You live there already.  They need to know what you like and how you think about the world.

You need experience to get a job but you have no experience!   How do you get started?   College taught you how to learn.  So study how to job hunt.

You need experience to get a job but you have no experience!   How do you get started?   College taught you how to learn.  So study how to job hunt.

If you have less than 2 years of experience, then you need to find an entry level job.   Take a look at these great sites.  No one is going to be standing over your shoulder telling you what to do anymore when school is over. Do your research.

Entry Level Jobs at Indeed.com  

Give employers a reason to hire you by cooperating with their hiring processes.  Don't expect to reach anyone by phone.  Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATSs) to collect resumes by job category for hiring teams to review.  Look for positions with Junior or I in the title as they expect to hire someone with less than 2 years of experience.
