Recruiters often use GPA limits to narrow the candidate pool.

• If you feel that your GPA is lower than what is expected, include a brief explanation of the cause in your cover letter. Recruiters may accept candidates with lower GPAs if they can provide a valid reason for why their GPA is low

• You may want to include your Major GPA in in addition to your Overall GPA if it reflects more positively on your abilities

• Remember that some of the content in your resume is independently verifiable (i.e., your GPA)

Experience tips for students

• Question: I am a college student without a lot of experience,what should I list on my resume?

• Answer: Don’t worry about having limited work experience, you can highlight the following:

— Class projects

— Community involvement/ volunteer activities

— School honors (e.g., Dean’s List, honor societies, scholarships)

— InternshipsBe patient with the process, a good resume is always a work in progress!

The depth and breadth of your work experience will play a critical role in a recruiters’ evaluation. Be sure to carefully describe your roles and responsibilities in each position you held:

• Identify and highlight the top three or four most significant parts of your job

• Use verbs to describe each point

• Provide concrete examples when illustrating your responsibilities/accomplishments

There are various ways to organize the work experience section in order to catch the recruiter’sattention. For example, you may:

• Title your experiences by Company/Organization name — If you have interned with well known corporations, it may be eye-catching to list the company name

• Title your experiences by position — If you held a significant amount of responsibility in your pastwork experience and it is reflected in the job title, it may be helpful to organize them by position

Additional sections

Additional sectionshonors, activities, accomplishmentsand other skills

• The last section of the résumé generally includes sections like honors, activities, other skills, hobbies, coursework, or research that is relevant to the position you are seeking

• Include characteristics that you believe separate you from the crowd

• Utilize this final section to complete your story

• Consider putting this section ahead of your work experience section if it is more relevant and speaks clearly to the position you are seeking
