You do not need five years of office experience to write a strong resume. Guul gives students and recent graduates education-first templates modeled on university career-center standards, plus dedicated sections for projects, coursework, honors, and campus leadership.
Manual editing, previewing and Plain-text downloads are free. PDF and Word downloads require One Resume, a resume pack or Pro. AI features have separate allowances. Check prices and allowances.
Header & Portfolio Links
Name, university email or personal email, phone, city, LinkedIn, GitHub / portfolio.
Education, Expected Graduation & Coursework
Degree, university, expected month/year, GPA (if ≥ 3.5), honors, and 4–6 relevant courses.
Technical / Academic Projects
2–3 capstones, hackathons, or lab studies written with the same rigor as work experience.
Internships, Campus Roles & Part-Time Work
Summer internships, research/teaching assistantships, and part-time jobs.
Leadership, Activities & Skills
Student clubs, athletics, volunteer service, programming languages, and lab tools.
University-Grade Layouts
Avoid flashy two-column bar-chart templates from graphic design tools that waste half your page. Each design below uses clean single-column hierarchy that campus recruiters and ATS parsers read top to bottom.
Places Education, GPA/Honors, and Relevant Coursework right below your name, followed by Projects and Leadership.
High-density single-column layout that fits internships, hackathons, and part-time work cleanly onto one page.
Clean sans-serif hierarchy built for software, data, and hardware interns who lead with GitHub projects and technical stacks.
Typeset scholarly design for lab assistants, honors thesis writers, and Master’s or PhD applicants.
Before & After Bullet Translations
Recruiters hiring interns and new grads know you haven’t run a corporate department. They look for evidence of scope, technical rigor, reliability, and ownership inside the work you have done.
Undersold Student Bullet
Built a web app for our senior computer science capstone class using React and Python.
Recruiter-Ready Student Bullet
Built a full-stack course-scheduling web app in React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL for a 4-person senior capstone; load-tested to 1,200 concurrent student sessions with sub-180ms query latency.
Key principle: Treat a major academic project like a real engineering or consulting engagement: name the stack, team size, constraint, and measured result.
Undersold Student Bullet
Treasurer of the Undergraduate Engineering Society. Handled club budget and sponsor emails.
Recruiter-Ready Student Bullet
Managed an annual budget of 18,500 dollars as Treasurer of the 340-member Engineering Society, securing 6 corporate hackathon sponsors and auditing reimbursements with zero variance.
Key principle: Student organizations involve real money, real headcount, and real vendor negotiation — state the dollar figures and member counts.
Undersold Student Bullet
Worked part-time as a barista at campus coffee shop while taking classes.
Recruiter-Ready Student Bullet
Worked 20 hrs/week during a full 18-credit engineering course load, training 7 new student hires and handling 250+ morning rush transactions per shift.
Key principle: Hiring managers respect candidates who balanced weekly work hours alongside a full academic course load. State the hours/week explicitly.
Undersold Student Bullet
Helped professor grade assignments and held office hours for Intro to Statistics.
Recruiter-Ready Student Bullet
Led weekly R and probability lab sections for 65 undergraduates in Intro to Statistics, authoring practice problem sets and grading 400+ midterm exams.
Key principle: Specify the subject, software taught, student cohort size, and teaching materials you created.
Include your cumulative GPA if it is 3.5/4.0 or higher (or First-Class / 2:1 Honours in the UK). If your overall GPA is lower but your in-major GPA is 3.5+, list "Major GPA: 3.7/4.0" instead.
Write "Expected May 2027" (month and year). Never list your starting year alone; recruiters filter internship cohorts by your graduation semester.
Cap coursework at 4 to 6 upper-level classes using their plain industry names ("Operating Systems, Distributed Databases, Econometrics") rather than internal course codes like "CS 3410".
Once you complete your first year of university or community college, remove your high school diploma unless a specific scholarship or hometown internship asks for it.
Step-by-step section order when you have zero formal internships.
How to align summer and co-op resumes with campus recruiting timelines.
Transitioning from a student layout to a full-time professional resume.
Write a 2-sentence internship or new-grad objective statement in your browser.
Turn class projects and part-time jobs into quantified accomplishment lines.
Formatting for UK milkround, scheme, and placement-year applications.
For undergraduate internships and first full-time industry jobs in North America, keep your resume strictly to one page. The only exceptions are graduate students applying for academic or research roles with multiple publications, or UK/Australian graduates where a 1-to-2 page A4 CV is standard.
While you are enrolled in school and up to 12 months after graduation, place Education at the top of page one right below your contact header (or 2-line objective). Once you have completed your first full-time post-graduation role, move Work Experience above Education.
If you are applying for an internship, co-op, or first job where your degree and graduation date aren’t obvious from past job titles, a crisp 2-sentence Resume Objective ("B.S. Mechanical Engineering candidate graduating May 2027 seeking a Summer Propulsion Internship...") works well. You can also omit the paragraph entirely and use that vertical space for another project entry.
Keep paid employment and formal internships under "Experience" so background checks stay clean, and place capstones, hackathons, and independent builds in a dedicated "Projects" or "Academic Projects" section right above or below Experience.
Yes. Every free browser tool on /tools is 100% free with no login, and drafting, reordering sections, and previewing your student resume on the live page canvas are free. Exporting your finished resume to PDF or Word (.docx) requires a One Resume one-time purchase or an active Pro plan.
