Entry & Student templates
Who this template is for
Students, interns, and new graduates. Education sits near the top and there is real room for projects and coursework, which is the right emphasis while your degree is more recent than your work history.
What to check after export
Projects are structured the same way as employment entries, with a title, a date, and bullets, so a parser reads them as experience rather than as a loose list.
The thing people get wrong
The most common early-career mistake is listing coursework without outcomes. "Completed a database systems module" is filler; "built a normalised schema for a 10,000-row dataset as coursework" is a project bullet that happens to be academic.
Whichever layout you pick, run the finished export through the ATS resume checker before you apply. The preview shows how the template renders; the checker shows the text this site's extraction recovers from the file you attach, so you can see whether your details survive.
