What We Do For Students

Resume Target's student resume service transforms academic experience into employer-ready proof. Instead of listing irrelevant part-time jobs, we focus on coursework, projects, and case studies that demonstrate your capabilities. Our 30-minute interview extracts your theoretical understanding and translates it into language that shows employers you're ready to contribute—even without professional experience.

Why Student Resumes Are Different

Traditional resume advice doesn't work when you don't have years of professional experience to showcase.

The Problem

  • No relevant work experience to highlight
  • Generic resume templates that look like everyone else's
  • "Responsibilities included" bullets that say nothing
  • Employers can't see your actual capabilities
  • Competing against candidates with experience

Our Approach

  • Focus on coursework, projects, and case studies
  • Highlight theoretical understanding of principles
  • Translate academic work into employer language
  • Show you understand how concepts apply in practice
  • Position you as a quick learner ready to contribute

We fix your student resume with one conversation

What We Focus On Instead

When you don't have practical experience, we showcase what proves you're ready to succeed.

Academic Achievement as Proof of Capability

Your coursework, projects, and academic experience demonstrate exactly what employers need to see: that you understand the principles and concepts required to succeed in your target role.

  • Relevant Coursework: We identify courses that directly relate to your target position and describe what you learned
  • Project Work: Case studies, group projects, and individual assignments that demonstrate practical application
  • Theoretical Understanding: Showing you grasp the "why" behind processes, not just the "how"
  • Transferable Skills: Leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving from any context

What We Ask You to Provide

  • "Walk me through your most challenging course project..."
  • "What concepts from your program apply to this role?"
  • "Tell me about a case study you worked on..."
  • "What tools or methodologies did you learn?"
  • "Describe a group project and your contribution..."

Is This Student Resume Service Right for You?

Our Student/New Grad service is designed for a specific situation. Here's how to know if it fits.

This IS For You If...

You're a current student or recent graduate with no professional work experience in your field

This IS For You If...

Your only work experience is unrelated (retail, food service, etc.) and you need to leverage academics

This is NOT For You If...

You have a Master's or PhD — you need our 60-minute Professional service to cover capstone projects

How We Transform Academic Experience

We take what seems like "just coursework" and translate it into proof you're ready for the job.

"Completed coursework in Financial Accounting"
After: Proof of Skill
"Built DCF valuation model analyzing $2M acquisition"
Result: You Get Calls
Employers see capability, not just education

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I only have retail or food service experience?

That's exactly who this service is for. We'll focus on your academics while extracting transferable skills (customer service, teamwork, problem-solving) from those roles.

I have an internship — do I still qualify?

If you have relevant internship experience, you need our 30-minute Early Career service. The internship experience changes what we need to discuss. See our packages.

What should I prepare before my interview?

Gather your course descriptions, transcripts, any case study or project documentation, and 1-2 job postings you're targeting. The more context, the better.

Will this work for graduate school applications?

Our service focuses on job-seeking resumes. Academic CVs for grad school have different conventions — contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Why do most student resumes fail?

Most students and recent grads focus on the wrong things—listing their part-time jobs instead of showcasing coursework, projects, and skills that actually prove they're ready for the role.

Do you write cover letters too?

Yes! Every package includes a customized cover letter along with your resume. Both are written through the same interview process.
