Great question. We've been talking A LOT with companies re: internships and entry level hiring for CollegeJobConnect because, well, that's what our company does! :) Here are my thoughts: For undergraduates, employers can't key off of past work experiences because many students simply don't have any (I didn't). If you have done an internship, awesome! Highlight that experience and make sure your description of what you did includes a "so what?" statement (ex. "Built a cool new widget in C++ for Acme Co. (so what?) which improved our client service department's ability to handle critical requests and improve response time" - silly example, but you get the point). All points should explain what you did and why it was important to yourself, to your employer, to the world in general, etc. If you've worked on projects or have things you can point to online, highlight those too. Again, make sure you explain the importance of what you did and why the employer you are asking to hire you should be impressed (as in "Because of my work on Project X I am now a jQuery ninja and can produce incredible UIs" or "During Project X we won 2000 users and I learned the importance of client support and cost-effective marketing"). Along those same lines, if you have a blog or social media presence, make sure they all tie in together and tell your story well ... and that they display appropriate content :) Definitely include as many objective metrics as you can: overall GPA, major GPA, SATs, any honors that you received, sports or clubs you participated in, and what your hobbies are. That's what comes to mind off the top of my head, glad to chat a bit more if you'd like, hit me up at jeff at collegejobconnect.com - good luck!
