What to Include When You Have No Experience

  • Lead with education, relevant coursework, and GPA if strong
  • Include internships, volunteer work, and part-time or freelance work
  • Add projects (academic, personal, or open-source) that show skills
  • Use a strong summary focused on skills and motivation, not years of experience
  • Choose a simple, ATS-friendly format (1 page is fine for no experience)
