Student Resume Templates

Made for a first job, an internship or a graduate role: education leads, and skills, projects and volunteering get the room work history would take.

2 designs. Your words stay put when you switch, so try as many as you like.

Writing a student resume

Lead with education

Your school, degree and expected graduation date go first, with relevant courses, honors or a strong GPA if they help.

Count everything real

Part-time jobs, volunteering, clubs, sports and school projects all show responsibility. Describe them with the same action verbs and results as any job.

Keep it to one page

A short, specific resume beats a long one padded out. The student resume example shows how much fits.

Questions

What should a student put on a resume with no experience?

Education, projects, volunteering, part-time work, clubs and skills, each with what you did and what came of it.

Should a student resume have a photo?

Only where photos are expected, as in much of Europe. Both student templates have a place for one, and it can be switched off.

Are these templates ATS-friendly?

Yes. Both are rated ATS-friendly, so they suit online applications for internships and graduate programs.
