Early Career & Students

Early Career IT Professionals: When you’re just getting started in your IT career, with limited experience (less than 1 year) and seeking entry level positions, the ideal resume emphasizes ability and potential. Show your ability to contribute immediately, and your potential to become a technical leader and valued team member. Combine quality of experience (not quantity) with those personal traits that make you a good workforce investment. Tell your story in a way that makes hiring managers sit up and take notice.

Students & Recent Graduates: The real challenge for graduates is competing with those who have experience.  You can make an impression in interviews, but getting the interviews can be difficult. A dynamic resume that differentiates you from the “ordinary student” is the key.
