Ledger classic — every date sits in a left gutter beside its role, with Playfair headings over a Source Sans body and solid section rules

Why this shape
The Entry Level template is built for the reality that most new graduates face: you have education, ambition, and maybe an internship or two, but not a decade of work history. Rather than stretching thin experience across a page, this template strategically leads with education, relevant coursework, academic projects, and extracurricular leadership. Internships and part-time roles are presented with achievement-focused bullets that demonstrate professional readiness. The layout fills a single page naturally without resorting to inflated margins or oversized fonts. Choose this when you are within two years of graduation and need a resume that confidently presents potential.

Include it if it is 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale, or the equivalent in your grading system. If your major GPA is stronger than your cumulative GPA, list the major GPA instead. The template provides formatting for both. After two to three years of professional experience, GPA typically becomes irrelevant and can be removed.
The template is designed for exactly this scenario. Lead with education details including relevant coursework and academic projects. Add leadership roles from student organizations, volunteer work, and extracurricular activities. Include a skills section with tools and technologies learned in coursework. These sections fill the page authentically without padding.
Yes. Any work experience demonstrates professionalism, reliability, and time management. The template helps you frame these roles around transferable achievements — customer service metrics, team coordination, inventory management, or training responsibilities — rather than basic job duties. Employers understand that early career experience comes from varied sources.
