Frequently asked questions
- What goes in experience if I have not had a job?
- Projects, internships, research, volunteering, and leadership in student organizations all count. Write them with the same action-verb, quantified-outcome bullets as jobs.
- Should GPA go on a new-grad resume?
- Include it if it is 3.5+ or the posting asks; otherwise leave it off. Add expected graduation date if you are still studying.
