what should I put on my resume?

All the usual stuff, like past jobs (any job shows that you at least know how jobs in general work-the whole reliability, politics, etc.), related coursework, special skills, etc.

Go to your colleges career fairs and give your resume to the recruiters; they're expecting people with no experience for the types of jobs they're trying to fill. Look for some unpaid internships for recent grads.

Speak to your university careers service, most will still give advice after graduation and they can help you draft a CV and identify areas of employment.

I can understand your concern about not having any work experience in mechanical engineering. However, I want to assure you that there are still many opportunities for you to showcase your skills and knowledge in this field. While work experience is certainly valuable, it is not the only factor that employers consider when hiring. Your GPA of 3.4 is also a positive aspect that can demonstrate your academic abilities.

To make your resume stand out, I would suggest highlighting any relevant coursework, projects, or internships you may have completed during your studies. Additionally, you can include any relevant skills or certifications that you have acquired, such as proficiency in CAD software or knowledge of industry standards. Employers are also interested in candidates who are enthusiastic, willing to learn, and have a strong work ethic, so be sure to showcase these qualities in your resume and cover letter.

Furthermore, do not underestimate the power of networking. Reach out to alumni, professors, or professionals in the industry to gain insights and potentially find job opportunities. Attend job fairs and industry events to make connections and learn about potential job openings.

In summary, while not having work experience in mechanical engineering may seem like a disadvantage, there are still ways for you to market yourself effectively and land a job in this field. Stay confident, continue to build your skills and knowledge, and don't be afraid to reach out for help and advice. Good luck!
