You\u2019ve worked so hard during your time in school and the employers that you\u2019re interviewing with will want to see all that work, but how do you show it off? How do you do justice to all of that time and energy that you\u2019ve put into it?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve compiled a few easy tips and tricks to make sure that your education will make the impact that you hope it will have on your resume (and make employers go \u201cwow!\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step one: list your education<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you\u2019re clear and concise on where you went, what you took, when you went to school, and if you graduated. So for example under the title \u2018Education\u2019 on your resume you would write:<\/p>\n<p><em>Willis College, Ottawa\u00a0 Campus. Graduated 2021, CyberSecurity Analyst Diploma<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step two: did you win any scholarships or bursaries?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you did, you should be proud of them! The skills that won you those valuable dollars are exactly what employers are looking for and they will help you to stand out.<\/p>\n<p>List exactly what you won right under your education. So it would now look like this:<\/p>\n<p><em>Willis College, Ottawa\u00a0 Campus. Graduated 2021, CyberSecurity Analyst Diploma<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Recipient: Women In Technology Scholarship<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step three: awards and accolades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Employers want to know about any special things that you accomplished in school. Maybe you had really high marks or won a leadership award, those need to be added to your resume so that employers know that you&#8217;re going to put the same amount of time and effort into your job as you did your education. However, only list your marks if they\u2019re impressive. An \u2018A\u2019 average, in the top 5% percentile, or a GPA of 4.0 or higher (depending on how your school lists such things).<\/p>\n<p><em>Willis College, Ottawa\u00a0 Campus. Graduated 2021, CyberSecurity Analyst Diploma<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Recipient: Women In Technology Scholarship<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Graduated 98% percentile in the September 2020 starting class<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Recipient of the 2021 Willis College Online leadership award showcasing excellent leadership and mentorship skills.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Step four: practicums<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, you can leave the education section of your resume alone now and wander on over to the \u2018Job Experience\u2019 section. Practicums or internships are just that &#8211; job experiences! They\u2019re the hands-on part of your education where you can really let your in-class learning shine. These show that you\u2019re motivated and ready to work. This is your chance to show how you applied what you learned in-class!<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t forget to ask your supervisor if they are willing to be a reference for you when you\u2019re on your job hunt. Your employers will want to speak with people who have worked with you in the past to ensure that your resume is as impressive as you say it is.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to go out and find your dream job!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget, our <a href=\"https:\/\/williscollege.com\/career-services\/\">career services team<\/a> is here to help you.
