How many times have you looked at a job posting and thought “I am not qualified for this job, there’s no point in applying”? When employers create job listings, they are creating a list of skills they want their dream candidate to have. Employers are well aware that there probably won’t be someone who will perfectly check every single box on the job description. Even if you feel that you don’t possess the skills or experience listed in the job description, sometimes it is a matter of amplifying the strengths and experience you do have to demonstrate to the employer that you are a good fit for the job. When you dig deep you may find that you actually have transferable skills that could greatly enhance your ability to do the job. To learn how to develop your resume in a way that best highlights your strengths, watch our Rev Up Your Resume Workshop then schedule a resume review appointment with one of our staff members.
Most college students don’t realize that many times graduates don’t end up in a career that directly aligns with their field of study. While it is important to choose a major that best aligns with your career goals, this doesn’t mean that you have to limit yourself to only those careers. If you would like to explore different career options based on your aptitudes and interests take the YouScience assessment to get started.
