Compact one-page layout prioritising degree, relevant modules, projects, and any internship or part-time experience. Designed for candidates with limited full-time work history.

What makes this ATS-safe

  • One page by default — avoids filler that dilutes early-career signal.
  • Education section uses plain headings parsers map to qualification fields.
  • Projects section names technologies and methods recruiters search for.
  • No photo, graphics, or skill bars that parsers cannot read.
  • Summary mirrors the job title you are applying for.
