I’m currently helping a student prepare their first CV and realised it’s actually quite tricky to know where to start. They don’t have much work experience yet, so the challenge is figuring out how to present their education, skills, and small achievements in a way that still looks professional.

While searching for ideas, I came across a lot of resume templates for students, and it made me wonder if anyone here has used them before. I think templates can be useful for structure and formatting, especially when you’re just starting out.

From my experience, the key is not just copying a template but adapting it to make it personal and relevant to your own strengths.

Has anyone here used student resume templates before? Did they actually help you get started or improve your CV?
