3. FREELANCE
If you feel as though employers are not giving you
a chance, it may be time to create your own
opportunities. This is a good resume builder.
Beware that this option is often far from easy. You
are competing against other freelance
professionals and the rates offered to potential
customers can be very competitive. Even though
this option can turn into something long-term, for
many people who are starting out, it doesn’t
exactly turn a high profit.
4.
5. GRASSROOTS OR SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS
Is there a cause or business that you are passionate
about? If a company or organization needs help
spreading the word, you may be the right person to act
as a liaison between them and the public. When
choosing the right grassroots campaign, do your
research. Find out who the company or organization has
worked with and where they have been featured. If they
are just starting out, it’s important to decide if you want
to be part of a start-up organization.
6.
7. ONLINE PORTFOLIOS
Employers want to see examples of your work.
Examples of your work would be photographs,
artwork, writing samples, websites, and pictures
taken from an event that you’ve managed. An online
portfolio is an easy and efficient way to not only
keep up with your works of art or articles, but show
them upon request. They also can be very fun to
create. Online portfolios have come a long way, so
take advantage of sprucing up your credentials.
8.
9. COURSES
Taking additional courses that are outside of your
degree can help you find a specific focus for a future
career. Unfortunately, taking the same courses as
everyone else in your graduating class does not give
you an edge above other applicants. There are non-
credit courses offered at many colleges and
universities that can help you learn specialized skills
and give you a platform to practice these skills in a
real-life setting.
10.
11. EVENTS
Whether it’s big or small, putting together an event
demonstrates the ability to plan, schedule, execute,
and manage something. You can put together an
educational event, support group, or a social
gathering with a networking focus. Make sure you’re
planning something that fits within your budget and
you make an allotment for contingencies.
12.
13. VOLUNTEERING
One of the best ways to build experience for your resume is
to volunteer, especially at a well-known non-profit
organization. These organizations can provide work
experience in fundraising, management, event planning,
media relations, and much more. Not every college student
is granted an internship, but you can always offer your time
and service.
