Our Solutions on 4 Example College Student Resumes

EXAMPLE 1

While this graduating student who was seeking a position in the financial services industry had no related employment experience, we showcased her coursework and some educational projects she had worked on to illustrate her qualifications. The strong qualifications profile calls out some significant credentials that were sure to set her apart from other candidates for the jobs she was targeting.

EXAMPLE 2

This recent college graduate had completed an internship related to her target position as an entry-level programmer. She had also completed a number of technical projects as part of her coursework that really illustrated her skills. Although she didn’t have any traditional employment to include, she possessed strong leadership skills, which we chose to emphasize by describing her extracurricular and AFROTC activities.

EXAMPLE 3

In this college student resume example, we made a strong case for this soon-to-be mechanical engineering graduate as a strong hire for entry-level engineering roles. As in all our student resume examples, notice how the use of resume design elements such as selective bolding, color, and ruling lines can make a modern resume stand out.

EXAMPLE 4

Although this job seeker was still a student and had come to us to have this resume written prior to college graduation, he already had impressive experience in his field of choice as a result of a research project he worked on.
