Career Resources for College Students and First Job Applications
Career resources for college students creating a resume with limited experience, writing cover letters, and preparing for internships or first jobs.
A practical starting point
Your experience may be newer, but it still has evidence. CareerKit helps students turn coursework, campus roles, projects, volunteer work, and part-time jobs into a clear application story.
Build from the experience you have
Class projects, student organizations, lab work, community roles, and customer-facing jobs can all demonstrate skills. Describe the contribution, the tools you used, and the outcome.
Keep each application focused
Read the job description, choose the most relevant examples, and mirror its language naturally when it accurately reflects your experience. That makes your fit easier to understand.
