The first thing you need to do is focus on the intended job target or industry. Make a list of the types of job or opportunities that you are interested in and search out employment titles in that field. This will come in handy when you go to apply for a job. Now do some research and talk with people who are already working in that particular industry. In this way, you have some background information on what's actually happening in the work force instead of try to apply outmoded philosophical models from yesteryear. It also gets you closer to the industry talk or lingo that is being used.

Now, in your resume, since you don't have the ideal experience, think about the skills that you already own that are applicable to this job or field. It is mostly about what you bring to the company that a recruiter will notice. Professionals already are aware that you are a newcomer and won't bother analyzing your resume unless there are some blatant lies present. Do not try to bluff your way with experiences that you don't have right now. People will be more impressed with your honesty and professional way of doing things than any attempt at misrepresentation.

Make sure that you include some of the keywords from the job posting itself into your resume. Don't go overboard here, just a few sprinkled in here and there in appropriate places to show that you have the necessary skill set to handle this position. By custom tailoring your resume to this job, you are also demonstrating necessary background and knowledge in composing a professional document - something that is sorely lacking in many respects in today's business environment.

Above all, put yourself into the resume. What is about you that makes a recruiter want to call? You have unique abilities and skills, put these into your paper. That, ultimately is what get you the interview.

Good luck.
