Recent graduates can gain work experience and make themselves more attractive to employers through internships, volunteering, freelance work, extracurricular activities, networking, and temporary or seasonal jobs. They should focus their resume on abilities rather than just experience, and demonstrate to employers how they can improve processes, products and services with new ways of thinking. Continuing education through training, courses, and certification can also help new graduates stand out from other applicants without experience who are pursuing the same positions.
