Tips for your CV Template for Students

  • 1

    Put your Education section first — it's your strongest asset right now

  • 2

    Include relevant coursework, thesis topics, or academic projects if they relate to the role

  • 3

    Part-time jobs, volunteering, and extracurriculars all count as experience

  • 4

    List soft skills with evidence: "Led a team of 4 during university hackathon" not just "team player"

  • 5

    Tailor your summary for each application — a one-size CV rarely works

  • 6

    Keep it to one page — recruiters expect brevity from entry-level candidates
