New graduate resume: no work experience

A fresh graduate with only school and clubs on the page.

Prompt

One criterion: can a hiring manager tell in twenty seconds that you have done this job. Actions and results, never adjectives.

Task: A fresh graduate with only school and clubs on the page.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - major, courses, grades
   - projects, competitions, internships
   - target role
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- treat coursework as projects: problem, method, result
- keep only the club experience showing collaboration
- add one small portfolio piece related to the role
- drop meaningless skills like Office

[Process]
1. Read the job description and extract the three things they screen for
2. Rewrite each experience as context, my action, result
3. Delete unverifiable adjectives
4. Mirror their vocabulary without inventing
5. Name the weakest link

[Output]
Rewritten material, what was cut, what evidence is missing.

[Do not]
- Never invent experience or numbers
- No 'expert' or 'proficient'
- Never one resume for every role
- Do not present duties as achievements

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • major, courses, grades
  • projects, competitions, internships
  • target role

Go through each of these

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • treat coursework as projects: problem, method, result
  • keep only the club experience showing collaboration
  • add one small portfolio piece related to the role
  • drop meaningless skills like Office
