Experience
This more or less speaks for itself, but taking into account that entry level applicants lack strong industry-specific experience, it is important to remember how many other industries (that are much easier to get into with minimal qualifications and experience) have transferrable skills.
Qualifications
Have you just done your GCSEs? A-Levels? Bachelors? Masters? PhD?! Whatever qualifications you have will aid you in your application process and is a key contributor to getting an interview. If qualifications are not your strong point at the moment, there is still a route forward.
Part-time work
Similar to the "experience" section, any part-time/ temporary work can be very helpful in presenting transferrable skills to recruiters.
