If you have some job experience and you still send your graduate resume to potential employers, you should consider a resume makeover.

Your new resume's strong point should be experience rather than education. Job candidates with two to five years of experience should place their job experience first in their resume.

If you have included college responsibilities, such as organising events in your resume, it is time to replace those by quantifiable achievements you have achieved from your previous employment.

Are your working as a volunteer but in a professional capacity? Have you recently joined the organisation or certified sales man? List them in your resume instead of your hobbies. Include also any further education you are pursuing.
