Top Resume Tips for Entry Level Candidates

1. Be careful about advice from college career services professionals and family members. They often use form resumes or templates created months/years/decades ago. Many career service professional or family members aren’t able to keep up with ever changing job market trends for resume tools and ideas.
2. Address must be close to the job. Many candidates use their family home addresses for applying to new jobs. You will often be screened out based on location. Instead, find a friend who lives close and borrow their address and mention to the interviewer that you have plans to move to a given city.
3. Work in one internship, or summer job before graduating. Paid or unpaid, this can be a resume booster and share with you what type of job field you want to be in. Websites like internship.com or even a google search are easy ways to apply for internships.
