College Graduate Resume:

Many college graduates finish school and are at a loss when it comes to writing their resume. They believe that school gives them nothing to put on their resume. One of the things that makes creating a college graduate resume a bit easier is considering how your college activities and classes translate into skills and accomplishments. You have a great deal to offer, it is just a matter of putting into a context that employers can relate to.

Consider the following list and how each one might apply to you:

• Communication skills (written and oral)
• Team player
• Negotiation skills
• Leadership abilities
• Problem-solving skills
• Motivating others

Those are called transferable skills. They are important if you do not possess a great deal of experience in the field of work you are pursuing, because you will need to attract the prospective employer's attention by emphasizing the skills that you DO have which relate to the position you are interested in.
