Fresh Graduate Resume Template

Why the Fresh Graduate template works

The Fresh Graduate template inverts the usual resume hierarchy for candidates whose education and projects are stronger signals than their work history. Education sits at the top with GPA, coursework, and academic awards. Projects appear before Experience so coursework and personal projects get visual weight. Internships and part-time roles follow. The result is a resume that lets a recent grad compete on equal terms with mid-career candidates - by leading with the credentials they actually have rather than the experience they don't.
