A resume dilemma that new graduates or juniors with limited to no job experience usually face is that, while a job would let you gain experience, you can’t find one since employers ask for previous experience. It’s really a deadlock situation you got there.
Nonetheless, the company expects you to submit an impressive, one-page resume. But with no work experience, you are wondering what content should you add?
Regardless of how tough it seems, don’t give up. You can still apply and have a shot at landing the job with these tips:
?Know your target market and roles. Research what the potential employers are looking for.
? Know what pain areas the target position is built to resolve for the company.
? Your resume should begin with your contact information, such as your name, address (or city and state), phone number, email address and LinkedIn profile URL
? After that, you should include a summary section, which highlights your qualification capabilities and explains how you match the role. Position yourself as a skilled resource that will add value to the company.
? As a new graduate highlight the most relevant education, training and certifications you have in the next section. Under each education, you can highlight additional positions of responsibility you delivered during your academic terms and various awards & recognition you received.
? The next section should be your projects or various internships, which highlights what you achieved.
