Frequently Asked Questions

How is a recent-graduate resume different from a student resume?
Recent graduates compete for permanent salaried roles, not internships. Lead with your degree and any full-time-equivalent experience (long internships, research roles, teaching assistantships), then back it with quantified projects. Drop high school entirely.
Should I include my GPA?
Include it if it's 3.5+ (or first-class / 2:1 in the UK) and you're applying to graduate programmes, banking, consulting, or law. For tech and startups, projects matter more than GPA. Drop GPA entirely once you have 1+ year of work experience.
How do I fill a resume with mostly academic experience?
Treat capstone projects, research, and significant coursework as work entries — with team size, technologies, outcomes, and any published or presented work. Add a "Projects" section that quantifies impact (users reached, accuracy improvements, prizes won).
Is one page mandatory for graduates?
Yes, with rare exceptions for PhDs or graduates with substantial publications and conference talks. For everyone else, a two-page graduate resume signals padding.
