Introduction

Everyone starts somewhere. Even without a job history, you have value to offer. ResumeGyani helps you uncover it.

Focus on Education

As a student, your education IS your work. List your degree, college, and high CGPA (if applicable). Mention relevant coursework like 'Database Management' or 'Digital Marketing' to show theoretical knowledge.

Turn Activities into Experience

Did you organize a college fest? That is 'Event Management'. Were you the class representative? That is 'Leadership'. List these under a 'Volunteering & Leadership' section.

Projects are Key

If you built a website or did a market research project in class, detail it like a job. 'Developed e-commerce site using React' sounds much better than 'Final year project'.

Conclusion

Build your first resume confidently with ResumeGyani.
