Balancing education and experience

The question at this stage is which comes first. If your degree is recent and relevant, keep it near the top; if you've worked a year or more in the field, experience leads. The Entry Level Resume is a flexible one-column layout that works either way. The Graduate Split Resume uses a sidebar so short experience doesn't leave gaps. If you're still in school, the college resume templates are a better fit; if you're switching fields rather than starting out, see the career change resume layouts.

Making a short history look substantial

Give each role three or four bullets with a result, a number, or a scope. Include internships and relevant projects as their own entries rather than a footnote. Group skills so the section has structure. When you're applying to specific postings, the job-description tailoring guide shows how to reorder what you have so the match is obvious.

Entry-level examples by field

The Junior Software Engineer Resume, Junior Data Analyst Resume and New Grad Nurse Resume show how early-career candidates in three different fields present limited experience. More are collected under early-career resume examples.

Common questions

How long should an entry-level resume be?

One page. You'll have plenty of time to earn a second.

Should I include a summary?

A two-line summary that names your target role and strongest skill helps; a long objective statement doesn't.

Do internships count as experience?

Yes. List them in the experience section with the same format as jobs.
