Fresh graduate resume with no experience: what to include
How to write a strong resume as a new graduate using internships, projects and activities instead of work experience.
No work experience does not mean an empty resume. Your strengths as a graduate are learning, activities and projects.
What to include
- Education at the top, with GPA (if strong) and awards
- Internships written like real jobs
- Final-year project: problem, what you did, result
- Activities: student clubs, volunteering, part-time jobs
- Skills: software you can use and languages
Example bullets from a part-time job
• Served 100+ customers a day at a busy café, 4.9/5 review score
• Trained 3 new team members
