College Resume Helps Employers Predict Future Successes

A Story to Tell
With the proliferation of job fairs lately, ambitious, soon-to-be college graduates are attending them, distributing resumes and hoping for the best. But a resume is a compendium of one's employment history. If you have none, then what do you put on it?
Even experienced job seekers don't realize that a resume isn't just a list of places you've worked, but a story.
A resume tells:
- How a person makes decisions
- What their values are
- If they're motivated
- And if they take initiative
So in that sense, it doesn't matter that you have no experience. At this stage, you're not expected to. You're looking for an entry-level position in a field that you hope you'll like and one in which you'll be able to grow.
