Graduate Resume Template for Students

The Graduate template reorders the page around what a first-job applicant actually has to offer. Education comes first and projects sit above employment, so a degree and a capstone land before two summers of part-time work. The styling stays deliberately conventional - the ordering is doing the work, and nothing about it announces 'student resume' to a recruiter.

Who this template is for

Education carries the detail

Each entry has room for coursework, honours, thesis title or GPA underneath the degree. That detail is expected on a graduate resume and looks out of place on a senior one, which is why this template makes space for it and others don't.

Projects before employment

A capstone, a hackathon build or a serious side project is stronger evidence of what you can do than a job title from an unrelated field. Putting them above employment means the reviewer sees the relevant work in their first pass.

How to make it yours

Write project bullets exactly like job bullets: what you built, with what, and what happened as a result. 'Built a route planner in Python; cut a 40-minute manual process to under a minute' beats a list of technologies every time.
