Resume Writing - How To Highlight Your Education and Skills

by Tradepla

Graduating from college is one of the proudest moments you can
experience. Receiving your diploma validates all the hard work
you put into your education, all the all-nighters you pulled
before exams.

Your graduation signifies your accomplishments as a student, and
opens the door into the world of career choices, job searches,
and 40-hour workweeks. All of a sudden, it hits you how will you
get a job that requires experience if you have none?

As a recent college graduate, you are entering the workforce at
entry-level jobs. Your potential employers have very reasonable
expectations. They expect you to have graduated from college and
that your major is in line with the job you are applying for.

They anticipate that you have some experience, a summer job or
an internship, but they are not requiring years of professional
experience. They would like to see some references from your
professors or previous supervisors so that they can get a better
idea of your personality and work ethic. Sound reasonable so
far?

The best way to show your potential employer that you are a
perfect candidate for the job is to create a functional resume.
Functional resumes focus on your qualifications, not your career
timeline. This style of the resume highlights what skills you
have, rather than where and when you acquired or utilize them.

In other words, instead of listing your experiences by your job
titles, your resume will contained sections titled by your skills
such as verbal and written communication, customer satisfaction,
project management, etc. This resume style is highly recommended
for and most often used by college students seeking internships
or their first jobs out of college.

Begin your resume by stating your career objective. Make sure
that your career goals are personal. Your objective should be
specific to the position you want, and should indicate to your
employer how you intend to utilize your education and how this
position will help you develop your experience.

Your education should be listed next. List the school you attend
and its location, your graduation year, and your major. It can be
helpful to include your GPA, specific courses you have taken, or
any honors you have received while in school.

Your professional skills should come next. This section will
include sub-headings as they relate to specific qualifications
you want to promote, such as communications, customer relations,
managements, etc. Here, you can utilize any experience you have
that relates to the sub-sections, including your part time jobs,
internships, volunteer positions, community service work, or
school-related activities.

Only include a work experience/work history section if you have
held part time jobs while in school or have had internships you'd
like your employer to know about.This list should only include
dates, titles, companies, and locations without listing any of
your responsibilities, since you are covering them in the
previous section. If you belonged to any clubs in school, include
a section for activities and list only those that support your
career objective.

For example, if you were an editor of your school paper, and you
are trying to get a job at a publishing company, make sure that
you include this experience in your resume. Your last section
should list references. As a new graduate, it is to your benefit
to include references on your resume, and give your employer
everything they need to consider you as a qualified candidate for
the job. You have nothing to lose by providing this information
ahead of being asked for it.

Before you start applying for jobs, take advantage of your
school's career center and have one of the mentors there review
your resume and help you perfect both the content and the format.
With a well-written resume, you are prepared to take the
professional world by storm.
