Student and Graduate CV Templates
When work history is short, the structure carries more weight. These templates put education, projects and skills first, keep everything on one page, and use space generously so a modest amount of content still looks complete.
They also suit career changers, who benefit from leading with a summary and transferable skills rather than a list of unrelated jobs.
Whatever your background, use real examples: coursework, projects, volunteering, part-time jobs and results.
