Do you list your college degree?

Highlight the experience you do have. Did you wait tables, work as a cashier, or anything that deals with money? Emphasize how you were responsible for reconciling your drawer, or anything that might be relevant or could appear that way. That said, do not go into great volumes about it because the people reading the resume will know you are stretching, but some relevant experience - even if it is minimal - is still noteworthy. In the education-related section, under where you list your degree, note relevant coursework that applies to the position, date completed, and your grade. Have you volunteered anywhere to give yourself some work experience? Animal rescue, homeless shelter, or any non-profits are great outlets to get relevant experience in your free time where on-the-job experience may be lacking. And volunteer work on a resume is very, very shiny if you can free up a day of your weekends for the next little while. More and more employers are putting stock in their CSR reputations, and bringing someone in that already has a mindset to give of their time and skills is another feather in your cap, even if formal paying work experience is a bit lacking.
