How to write a CV with no work experience
Students, graduates and career changers: how to fill a CV with education, projects, volunteering and transferable skills.
Lead with education
Put your education near the top, with relevant courses, projects and any grades you are proud of.
Count everything real
Volunteering, school projects, sports teams, part-time or summer jobs, helping in a family business and online courses all show skills employers want.
Highlight transferable skills
Teamwork, communication, reliability, languages and computer skills matter in almost every job. Give a short example of each.
Write a motivated profile
Say what kind of role you are looking for and why. Enthusiasm and willingness to learn count for a lot in entry-level hiring.
