Guys, there's no reason to freak out if you don't have a ton of work experience to put on your resume. If the jobs that you're applying for are mostly entry-level, then it wouldn't make sense for the employers to expect you to have a whole lot of relevant work experience. It's important to remember that the point of a resume is to show how the various skills you have learned can apply to the new job you're applying to. So, even if you've only worked at Joe's Burger Shack every summer since you were fifteen, you've probably acquired a whole host of skills that you could use at any other entry-level job. And if you haven't had a lot of work experience, emphasize any volunteer experience you have had. Also remember that you've already got a full-time job as a student, so emphasize transferable skills you've learned on campus through volunteer organizations, clubs, languages, and even proficiency in Microsoft applications.
If you're wondering how to do all of these things, check out some great examples of resumes on our homepage here.
