How to write a graduate & student resume
Cum Laude is built for students and recent graduates applying for internships, graduate programs and first jobs. The template handles the formatting — these are the content rules that win interviews in this field:
- 1Put education first — your degree is your strongest evidence, so lead with it, including expected graduation date.
- 2Treat part-time work and club leadership with the same rigor as corporate experience: action verb, task, quantified result.
- 3One page, always. Graduate recruiters read hundreds of applications per program.
- 4List your WAM/GPA if it's strong; leave it off if it isn't — never lie about it.
