How to make a resume with no work experience

Having no work experience doesn't mean you have nothing to show. Your resume can highlight your education, projects, internships and skills to convince the recruiter of your potential.

1. Start with a potential-focused summary

Instead of talking about experience, summarize your career goal, your education and what you want to contribute. Be concrete and enthusiastic.

2. Turn what you've done into experience

• ›Internships or volunteer work.
• ›Academic or personal projects.
• ›Courses, certifications and workshops.
• ›Achievements in studies or activities.

3. Highlight your skills

Soft skills (teamwork, communication, fast learning) and technical ones (software, languages) carry a lot of weight when there's no experience. Back them up with examples.

4. Mind the format

One page, a clean structure and no typos convey seriousness. With Tu Currículo you pick a professional template, fill in your data and download your resume ready to go, even as an ATS version.
