5. Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Write the name of your school, major, and the year you graduated. List the date you expect to graduate if you\u2019re still in school. Include your coursework and GPA for relevant subjects higher than 3. Mention special honors like Dean\u2019s List or summa cum laude as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, listing education on resume like coursework and academic honors add relevant keywords to your application, especially if the curriculum subjects are listed as required skills on the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These keywords will help your resume surface on the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) companies use to screen online applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Customize Your Resume for the Job You Want<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t let lack of experience stop you from going after the jobs you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone has to start somewhere, right? For a fresh graduate or young professional like you, that starts with learning how to write a resume for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, send it with a customized cover letter that describes your main selling points as an applicant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Find someone who can refer you to the company. But if you can\u2019t find anyone, a gentle email follow-up is also a good way to make sure the recruiter takes time to read your application. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The BLS says the US unemployment rate hovered at 3.5% to 4% in the last two years.
