This week’s featured pitch page goes to Jacqueline Covillo from the University of Kansas.
I am a true leader, achiever, and problem-solver who is known to go above and beyond requirements and expectations.
Having relevant work experience is regularly ranked as the most important factor by hiring managers. But relevant experience is pretty irregular to have when you are just getting out of college. So what should you do?
Emphasize the experience you’ve built up with the extracurricular activities you have been involved with. It shows employers that you are active on your campus, have experience in leadership roles, and that you are a “go getter”. Take a look at Jacqueline’s pitch-page to see how she emphasizes all of her extracurricular involvement to make her profile standout from the rest of the competition. Having a 3.8 gpa also doesn’t hurt! Congratulations Jacqueline!
