No Resume? No Work Experience? No Problem.

According to Quintessential Resumes and Cover Letter's blog: College students with minimal work experience to list on resumes and cover letters can brainstorm using a college experience worksheet.

The worksheet includes many aspects of "typical" college life that may be worthy of inclusion on your resume. The goal is to identify each college experience that may be relevant to your future career and to identify the transferable skills and accomplishments from that experience. Start by asking yourself questions, such as:

1) Did you participate in sports, involving teamwork, competitive drive and leadership? What skills did you demonstrate and what did you accomplish?

2) What type of community service projects did you undertake? What skills did you demonstrate?

3)Did you have any creative accomplishments? Were any of your poetry, essays, creative performances or stories published or performed? What skills did you demonstrate and what did you accomplish?
