keep it real (Score 1)

Since you won't have much(if any) experience, you need to shoot for the 'I am enthusiastic and very willing to learn' angle. I am an IT manager in the financial industry(not help desk...in house dev), and I am constantly looking for good people, with little luck. I would rather hire someone that can pick things up and have some 'fire in the belly' then someone that thinks he knows everything. It is amazing how many people put 'Java'(or other 'skills') on their resume because they took one Java class but only remember how to do the 'hello world'. I think the best thing I learned in college was how to solve problems. Make sure you send along a cover letter. If you have any personal side projects you are working on,put those down. Recruiters are ok, but they don't give that personal touch. I worked in dot coms for 4 years before going to the financial industry, and surprisingly, I like it. It is much more stable(if you are looking for that). Best of luck.
