[quote name='lordwow']Ya, what you should do instead of just listing your skills is reference how you used the skills at a given job, and then how it will apply to the job you are applying for.
For example, at Company X I programmed in C++ and developed a database, which is a crucial part of this job (cite job requirements/description), or whatever. Just make it sound like you're important and can do exactly what they need you to. Avoid anything that you don't feel comfortable with in the job reqs.[/quote]
Thats kinda the problem, i don't have much work experience. This is for a job at my school, they're known for hiring people close to graduation. I currently work there as a computer lab assistant, so i have kind of an inside knowledge of their hiring practices. I have plenty of experience in doing what would be needed, just not on a professional level, i knew the woman who had the job before, she did nothing i couldn't handle.
