Student Resume Templates
When you don't have much work history yet, the layout has to help. Student templates lead with education and let projects, volunteering, societies and part-time work sit alongside it as real experience.
They're designed for one page, which is what employers expect from students, and each comes in a range of colours and typefaces so you can find one that feels like you without sacrificing readability.

What to look for
Education first
Course, institution, expected graduation and any relevant modules, grades or awards near the top.
Experience is broader than jobs
Group projects, clubs, volunteering, competitions and part-time work all count. Describe what you did and what changed because of it.
A short objective, not a long summary
One or two lines saying what you're looking for and what you bring is enough.
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 if I have no work experience at all?
Use Projects, Volunteering and Activities. The builder's examples include student content you can adapt, and the improver suggests stronger verbs for each bullet.
Should I include my GPA or grades?
Include them if they're strong or if the employer asks. Otherwise leave them out; it's not required.
Can I reuse the same resume for every application?
Keep one master copy, then use Versions to make a tailored copy per application that mirrors the advert's key skills.
