If you don’t have much work experience, highlight your educational accomplishments to help your resume stand out. If your GPA is around 3.3 or higher, put it right underneath your degree, along with any merit-based scholarships and/or awards you may have received during your school career.  A GPA of around 3.3 is usually what students need to achieve to receive academic honors when they graduate. Don’t include high school graduation information on your resume after your 2nd year of college. If you haven’t graduated from college yet, put the date when you expect to receive your degree. List your experiences as an intern and/or volunteer underneath your education. Review the description of the job to which you’re applying. Then, pick out 3-5 of the major skills required for the position, and explain how you developed these skills in short descriptions of your experiences.  If, for example, the organization is looking for someone who “can work independently with minimal supervision,” describe in detail a project that you completed while working with minimal supervision. Customize these descriptions for each job position to which you apply. Using bullet points will make it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to immediately see what you accomplished during your time at school, internships, and volunteer organizations as they skim your resume. Try looking at as many resumes as you can and see what format best grabs your attention. Then model your resume on that example. Look over the description of the position to which you’re applying. Take note of any computer programs, languages, or other specific skills the company is looking for in a candidate. Put any of these skills that you have at the top of your skills section. Then follow this up with any skills you possess that you believe will set you apart from other applicants.  If you’ve been certified for any of the skills you list, include this information as well. If you’re applying for an entry-level analyst position at a major retailer with offices and stores around the world, for example, the ability to speak 3 languages fluently may set you apart from other applicants. When applying to a job, look over the description of the role closely and make a note of specific keywords and skills. Edit the descriptions of your internship and volunteer experiences to most closely match what the company is looking for.  If, for example, the organization is looking for someone who can “perform qualitative research,” try to include that exact phrase somewhere in your resume. Delete any experiences that aren’t relevant to the position for which you’re applying. Once you’ve written the first draft of your resume, print it out and read it out loud to find typos you may have missed when editing it on your computer. Then, have a friend or family member read it over to catch any mistakes you may have overlooked. After writing and revising your resume, put it aside for a couple days and then return to it with a fresh pair of eyes.

Summary: List your degrees, GPA, and other academic achievements. Highlight the skills you developed as an intern and/or volunteer. Use bullet points to list your accomplishments. Make a skills section to display your mastery of software, languages, etc. Tailor your resume for each job. Proofread your resume closely to find and correct errors.

Many young recruitment consultants make the mistake of trying to be friends with all of their potential contractors. You are likely to lose respect and lose contractors if you don't focus on your best business and meeting skills. A positive and realistic attitude is important because you will be dealing with people during a large part of your day. Come to work motivated, ready to listen and focused on motivating others. The role of recruitment consultant is a highly social role. If you are not driven to communicate with others and pitch to new clients, you are unlikely to succeed. Few new recruitment consultants can get by with a 40 hour work week. While you are developing your list of contractors and your business clients, you will need to spend hours researching and contacting people, outside of producing job descriptions, interviewing contractors and arranging appointments. Once you develop a good list of businesses and contractors, you should start to get new customers through referrals. Once business and contractor referrals are coming in regularly, you can cut back your time spent looking for new business, in order to focus on keeping quality contacts. Market yourself to businesses where you believe you can successfully place candidates regularly. Focus on producing a prospective client kit, generating reviews from other businesses and keeping your business contacts happy so that they provide you with a steady stream of positions to fill. You should be adept and phone calling, interviewing and emailing. Many recruitment consultants struggle with finding a balance of keeping in touch but not pressuring the contractors. Check in with your contractors to see if they are happy with their job. If you are trying to find a job for someone who is currently employed, their work situation can change weekly or monthly. Schedule times to meet when you want a more in-depth view of their perspective. Try recommendations from company employees, word of mouth, job postings and developing your own website to post positions.
Summary: Remain professional. Focus on your attitude. Expect to work hard, especially in the beginning. Focus on developing relationships with businesses. Maintain excellent, open lines of communication. Use a number of avenues to fill your positions.
