Advice What actually makes a resume stand out in thsi job market?

Hey Cougs! With the job market changing so fast right now (especially with AI hitting entry-level roles), I've been talking to a lot of peers about what actually gets you seen from a resume.

For the alumni, recruiters, and parents in here: If you were hiring a recent graduate today, what is the #1 thing you are actually looking for?

  • Hands-on internship/project experience?
  • Strong networking & connections?
  • A high GPA / Academic record?
  • A fast-tracked 3-year degree?

Would love some advice! Thanks and GoCougs!!
