Section emphasis for students
Without much work history, the order of emphasis flips. Education comes first, achievements come from coursework, and CEFR really matters.
Lead with Education
GPA / final mark, EQF level, principal subjects. Add abroad-study (Erasmus) as its own row. Include thesis title if relevant.
Reframe internships as Work
Even unpaid placements go in Work experience. Quantify what you built, learned, or contributed.
Show academic projects
Final-year projects, hackathons, dissertations — they belong in Additional information with a 1-line outcome.
CEFR is your strongest card
Students often have stronger languages than mid-career professionals. The CEFR grid is where you shine.
Digital skills early
DigComp Intermediate or higher in Information & Communication is realistic for most students. Don't undersell.
Volunteering counts
Student union, campus radio, mentoring — all qualify as Communication or Organisational skills with concrete examples.
