First-job / graduate CV

Education, a project, a certificate — complete without a job history.

This is a sample CV for a fictional person. It is not your CV. Starting from it creates a new copy in My CVs — you still need to replace the details.

Noah has not had a full-time job yet. The CV still reads as finished because education, a real project, and a short certificate carry the page.

Graduate puts education and projects where work would normally sit. That is the point of this look — you do not leave a hole called “Experience”.

If you have a shop job, volunteering, or an internship, add it. If you do not, do not invent one. Replace Noah’s dissertation and GitHub with yours.
