What is the best way to explain the value of my course work to potential employers?
The best way to explain your coursework is to talk about transferable skills that you have gained through research papers, class projects and assignments that you have done in your academic career. You want to make sure that these skills come across in your cover letter and resume and that they are also apparent in the interview. A good way to evaluate the skills that are important to an employer is to analyze the job description and then look at your academic endeavors and see what skills are transferable. For example, if you were a team leader on a class project you may have gained communication skills by coordinating group members. This could help you in a management position where you are coordinating multiple employees.
