Every template comes with an example, a guide and the keywords recruiters search for. Find yours below, or upload the resume you have and get it rewritten.
A good student resume template isn't generic. It fits your major, the language recruiters in your field use, and the ATS that sorts the applications. Pick your field for a template built around what employers actually look for.

Get startedA good student resume includes your contact details, a short summary, education (with relevant courses and projects), experience (including campus roles and part-time jobs), skills and any relevant internships. If you don't have much work experience, projects, campus roles and coursework are worth highlighting.
An ATS (applicant tracking system) is the software most large employers use to sort resumes automatically. An ATS-friendly resume uses the right keywords, a clean format and clear sections so the system can read and rank it. Many good resumes never reach a person because they stall in the ATS.
For students and new grads: one page. Recruiters spend only a few seconds on the first read, so short and specific beats long and generic.
No, and that's the problem with generic templates. An engineering resume uses different keywords and puts sections in a different order than a nursing or law school resume. Pick the template that matches your major for the best result.
