Entry-Level Resume Templates
Your first full-time application has to do two things at once: show the education that qualifies you, and prove you can already do useful work. Entry-level templates keep everything on one clear page so both come across in a quick read.
Every template here comes with example content written for an entry-level version of a real profession — a junior accountant, a first-year nurse, an entry-level developer — so you can see how the sections fit before you replace the text with your own.
812
templates across 112 layouts and 78 professions, each with its own example content

What to look for
Education near the top
Until you have a couple of years of experience, your degree, diploma or apprenticeship is a key qualification. Put it where it's seen.
Internships described like jobs
Title, organisation, dates and two or three bullets that say what you did and what changed.
Skills that match the advert
Mirror the exact tools and skills in the job description, then show them in action in your bullets.
Layouts in this collection
Every template above is one of these layouts with example content for a specific profession and career stage. The ATS rating belongs to the layout: it measures how its text reads back from an exported PDF.

Questions
What should an entry-level resume include?
Contact details, a two-line summary, education, any internships or relevant part-time work, projects if you have them, skills and certifications. One page is enough.
I have no internship. What goes in experience?
Part-time jobs, volunteering, university projects and society roles all count. Describe the responsibility and the result, just as you would for a job.
Is the example content real?
No. It's written for fictional people to show the structure and tone that works for each profession. Replace every line with your own details and real numbers.
