What to write with no experience
- Profile: two lines on what you studied and the job you want.
- Education first: degree, university, year and your CGPA or grade if it is good.
- Internships and projects: what you did and one result each, even for short internships.
- Activities: societies, events you organised, volunteering, sports: they show teamwork and leadership.
- Skills: MS Office, languages and anything from the job advert you can really do.
Freshers: common mistakes
Do not pad the page with long objectives or hobbies; one page is perfect. Use a professional email address (firstname.lastname@...). Check spelling twice and send a PDF so the layout stays the same on the recruiter's computer.
