General
Templates for anyone starting out — students, fresh graduates, and career changers with no prior experience.
CV Example With No Experience
Having no work experience isn't the problem — an empty CV is. The fix is to reorder it: put education, skills, training and activities up front instead of leaving an experience section blank. Employers advertising entry-level roles already know you don't have five years behind you; what they're looking for is evidence that you learn quickly and follow through.
- recent graduate
- cooperative training
- graduation project
- teamwork
Student CV Example
A student CV exists to land an internship or part-time work, not a senior post. So it stays on one page and concentrates on what you're studying now, what you've achieved inside the university, and the skills that make you useful from week one. Include your GPA if it's strong; leave it out if it isn't.
- university student
- summer internship
- part-time work
- coursework projects
Fresh Graduate CV Example
Fresh graduates are in a stronger position than they think: current knowledge, recently-learned tools, and plenty of employers who would rather train someone new than retrain someone set in their ways. What matters is that the CV shows a clear move from study into work — a specific field, concrete projects, and one stated goal rather than vague phrasing.

- cooperative placement
