Identifying your skills and experiences will help you build an effective resume that demonstrates your value to employers. Your education at MVNU goes far beyond knowledge because you develop qualities and skills that will be useful throughout your life and career, through coursework and cocurricular activities. Some examples are research skills, analytical skills, organization, and communication skills.  \nAlthough you may have never held a professional position before, you will need to frame your experiences in a way that translates into a future job. Transferable skills are those which are acquired through your coursework, campus activities and work-related experiences, but can also be applied to your future career. This workbook will help you document experiences and enable you to communicate the qualities and skills you have developed which are most meaningful to employers. They appreciate the value of a student’s campus activities and volunteer experience.  \nRegardless of the type of position, most employers are looking for crucial employability qualities in college graduates. It is important to become familiar with these qualities and think about how you can further develop them during your time at MVNU. The table below lists the top qualities and skills that prospective employers seek in candidates.  \nTop Attributes Employers Seek in College Students  \n• Problem-solving skills  \n• Teamwork skills  \n• Strong work ethic  \n• Analytical/quantitative skills  \n• Communication skills (written)  \n• Technical skills  \nSource: Job Outlook Survey 2022, National Association of Colleges and Employers  \nDocumenting Your Experiences  \nBeyond co-curricular activities, you should also have acquired experiences outside the university that qualify as relevant resume content. These experiences will include part-time jobs, internships and volunteer work.  \nWhile it’s understood that internship experience is essential, students often fail to realize the importance of other employment and volunteer experience. A part-time job, for example, demonstrates many important transferable skills, not to mention basic employability skills. The fact that you have reliably held a job, shown up for work and taken care of multiple responsibilities is fundamental.  \nStudents involved in developing their resume often make statements like,“I haven’t done anything”,“I didn’t know that was important” or “I’m not sure how to put that on a resume.” Sometimes the most difficult thing about creating a resume is figuring out what belongs on it and what doesn’t. Creating a resume is like making a beautiful sculpture from a granite rock. You have to start with an overabundance of material in order to reduce it to the image desired. A similar process you may be more familiar with is writing a research paper. You have to compile a lot of information—more than you will actually use—and then selectively focus on what should be included and what is better left out. When a career advisor reviews your resume, it is much easier to recommend what should be cut out than to probe all your experiences, looking for things you should have included.  \nThis section is provided for you to document all your important experiences. You and your advisor will be able to refer to this section to gather the kind of content that should be included on your resume, and to apply it in a way that relates to your chosen field. When in doubt, it is better to include an experience than to leave it off. There may be hidden skills in your activities of which you are not yet aware.
