I remember when I was just out of college, I was terrified at how little I could put on my resume. I had a couple internships, sure, but it just felt really sparse. It made me really wrack my brain to come up with as many "skills" as possible. I literally felt like I was trying to trick companies into giving me a chance, since I didn't have much "proof" of my potential. Now that I have plenty of experience, I have a lot more to work with, and it's way easier (especially since I have been on the other side of the resume-reading exercise, so I know what I'd look for).

Hopefully more students can learn what it's like from the company's side and have a better picture for what they're expecting. If they are going for a low-level position, I'd give them a break on the resume and experience, and really dig for potential. Everyone has to start somewhere.
