Student resume template

As a student, your resume has to make a case from limited material: classes, a part-time job, a club, a project. The right structure turns those into evidence that you can do the job.

Campus follows the format university career offices teach: education at the top, one page, and every entry on two aligned lines that recruiters at career fairs can scan in seconds.

Free to build and preview. Downloads require a plan.

What to put on a student resume

  • Education first: school, degree, expected graduation and your GPA if it's 3.5 or higher.
  • Relevant coursework or projects with a concrete result.
  • Part-time jobs, even unrelated ones. They show reliability.
  • Leadership roles in clubs, sports or volunteering.
  • Skills: software, languages and certifications.

Turn everyday experience into strong bullets

'Worked the register' becomes 'Handled 200+ transactions per shift with a zero-variance cash drawer.' Specific numbers make small jobs read like real responsibility.

Internship applications

Most internship programs at large companies use an applicant tracking system, so stick to a one-column, ATS-safe template like Campus. Tailor the skills line and your project bullets to each posting.

Frequently asked questions

Should education go first?

Yes, while you're a student or recent graduate. Once you have a year or two of full-time work, move experience above it.

Can I add projects?

Yes. Use an extra section called Projects, Activities or Leadership in the builder.
