First of all, reflect on the skills and experiences you have and could highlight on your resume. Your education is likely relevant and can be listed at the top of your resume. Additionally, you may want to add relevant coursework or details about projects that demonstrate the requisite skills for the job.

Next, consider adding volunteer experience or jobs in which you have obtained transferrable skills. Additionally, include your participation in relevant professional associations to convey your strong interest in the field. Should the position require specific technical skills that you possess, add a section for that as well. Most employers agree that they want to see a one page resume for entry level candidates, so keep it short and specifically customized for the job of interest.
