What would you say is the minimum amount of full time experience that sets you apart from new grads? I ask because I got a job as a consultant but because my girlfriend is moving to another city I want to try to get a job there yet keep getting rejected at resume screen. The biggest knock on my resume is lack of experience, I was a premed so I basically did research in my summers rather than internships unfortunately. Just want to know how quick I can start applying again with some experience?

The more the better, but even 3-4 months of a real project gives you experience over entry level theoretically.
Now, what recruiters consider experience is at least 2 years.

Okay! Definitely would be targeting entry level but this is good to hear, I’ve previously heard minimum was 2 years but this is reassuring!

How much experience do you have? If you’re applying to entry level positions, it shouldn’t matter too much.

I’ve heard of people getting jobs with 8 months of experience in some cases, but I’d say 1 year is safe enough

That makes sense - I find it’s a lot easier to get people to seriously consider me if I’m able to talk to a recruiter in person. Is your school having any job fairs? Also, have you been applying through referrals?

It might be worth the (small) investment to have your resume professionally optimized. You should be able to find an expert on Upwork who can do this for a reasonable rate.

Yeah I realize the resume screen is my worst stage, I typically do okay in interviews so seems like it’s the step to improve, thank you!
