 Show all of your technical experience, including such things as building or

repairing computers for friends/relatives or creating Websites for friends or

non-profit organizations. Unless you already have IT experience, it’s

essential to demonstrate your skills through class projects and volunteer

work.

 Ask yourself, How can I prove that I do good work? What evidence can I

provide on my résumé? An example from a class might be: Received 4.0

in Visual Basic; coded final project in team atmosphere (60 hours a week

for two weeks); one of three students excused from taking the final due to

extremely high point total.

 You can also demonstrate strengths by creating a “Testimonials” section

at the end of the résumé and quoting one or two comments from

instructors or past supervisors. Example: Sally has a knack for working

with databases. She asks the right questions to get the information

needed and then works hard to bring about results.
