When you have no work experience, put your education and projects first. Use this order:
- Name and contact: phone, email, city and LinkedIn or GitHub.
- Career objective: 2 to 3 lines.
- Education: latest degree first, with CGPA or percentage.
- Skills: 6 to 12 skills from the job advert.
- Projects: college projects, with what you built and the tools you used.
- Internships and training: optional.
- Certifications, achievements and languages.
Career objective examples for freshers
B.Com fresher: B.Com graduate looking for an Accounts Assistant role. Trained in Tally Prime and GST filing. Accurate with numbers and quick to learn new software.
BCA / B.Tech fresher: BCA graduate seeking a Junior Web Developer role. Built 3 websites in college using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React. Enjoys solving problems in a team.

How to write projects when you have no experience
Projects show that you can do real work. For each project write the name, the tools you used, and 1 or 2 points about what it does. Add a number when you can.
College Event Booking Website (React, Node.js, MySQL)
• Students book seats for college events online
• Used by 300+ students during the annual fest
Tip: Read the job advert and copy its skill words into your Skills section. Company software (ATS) looks for those words first.
Common fresher resume mistakes
- Making it 2 or 3 pages long. One page is enough for a fresher.
- Adding a photo, date of birth or father's name unless the company asks for them.
- Using tables, columns or icons that ATS software cannot read.
- Writing "Hardworking, honest" without any proof such as a project, rank or award.
- Using an email like cutegirl123@gmail.com. Use your name.
