When potential employers consider you for a job, which of your attributes do you think carry the most weight with them?
Your college GPA? Wrong.
The relevance of your coursework? Wrong again.
According to a survey performed by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the three most important attributes when evaluating you will be your internships, employment during college, and you college major.
Employers will also assess your skill set.
Do you know what makes a great resume? It’s not the fact that it landed you an interview — a great resume doesn’t have to do that all the time. According to Vicki Salemi, Monster’s career expert, a great resume needs to:
Show the jobs you’ve had in the past;
Include keywords found in the job description;
Be free of typing errors;
Show the relevance of your skills and experience for the position.
