Recent Graduate resume example

With little work history, a graduate resume leads with education, projects and internships. Show what you can do, not only what you studied.

This opens the Make-CV editor with the example below filled in. You do not need to sign up. Edit every line so it is true for you.

Skills to list

Microsoft Office
Research
Writing
Teamwork
A programming or design tool for your field
Presentation
Time management

List only the skills you have. Use the same words as the job post so applicant tracking systems can match them.

Example bullet points

Completed a capstone project for a local nonprofit, delivered on time to a team of four.
Interned for 10 weeks and built a reporting sheet the team still uses.
Led a student society of 60 members and ran its $3k budget.
Worked 20 hours a week in retail while keeping a 3.6 GPA.
Wrote a 40-page thesis on supply chain resilience, graded First Class.

These are sample lines. Replace the numbers and tools with your own. Never claim a result you did not deliver.

Tips

Put education first and keep it to one page.
Turn class projects and part-time jobs into result bullets.
Match your skills section to the job post, using only skills you have.
