What Goes On a Student’s Resume


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and I are diving into the student resume. It is incredibly common to feel like you have nothing to offer an employer when your work history is thin, but we are here to tell you that you have way more to brag about than you realize! Whether you’re a student, a recent graduate, or a parent trying to help your kid get a head start, we’re going to show you how to turn everyday campus life into a high-impact resume.

We’re talking about:

  • The "Experience" vs. "Professional Experience" distinction
  • Why unpaid volunteer work can be more valuable than a summer job
  • How to add bullet points to your Education section
  • Extracting "downstream impact" from simple campus roles
  • The secret to getting recruited for on-campus jobs
  • Why you should never hide a good GPA
  • Reframing class projects as practical work experience
  • Prioritizing student involvement over entry-level service roles


Listen in to help us, help you give yourself the best chance of landing your Next Job… NOW :)
