Fresher / Recent Graduate resume example
With little work experience, a graduate resume wins on education, projects and internships. This example leads with those and still uses numbers in every section.
Template: Student
What to include
- Put education first, with your grade if it is strong.
- Treat projects like jobs: say what you built, the tools you used and the result.
- Include internships, part-time work and volunteering, as they all show reliability.
Why this resume works
- Almost every bullet contains a number, so the reader can see the size of the result.
- Bullets start with an action verb, not with “responsible for”.
- It fits on one page, which is what most recruiters prefer.
- Standard headings and real text mean applicant tracking systems read it correctly.
