Just finished studying, no job yet. The hardest CV to start, and the most common.

A fresher CV format has one job: to fill a page honestly when there is no paid work to list. It can, and the example above does it. The trick is order. Put what you have first — your degree, a training, an internship, a college project — and let experience come later, or not at all. This format works the same for a fresher resume in Nepal or India, for a first job in accounts, admin, banking, teaching or IT.

Fresher CV format
The sections, in the order an employer reads them.
- Name and contact — Full name, phone, email, and the town you live in. No need for a full address or a photo unless the vacancy asks.
- Career objective — Two or three lines: the degree you hold, the kind of role you want, and one thing you can already do.
- Education — Above experience, because it is your strongest section. Degree, college, university, year — add your percentage or GPA if it is good.
- Training and internships — Tally, computer, language or trade courses, with the institute and duration. An internship goes here or under experience.
- Projects and volunteer work — A college project, a club you ran, an event you helped organise. Say what you did, not just that you were there.
- Skills — Computer skills, typing speed, languages. Plain and checkable — 'MS Excel: formulas and pivot tables', not 'computer literate'.
- References — One teacher or internship supervisor who has agreed to be called, or 'available on request'.
Fresher CV objective
Two to adapt — change the numbers and names to yours. A career objective, or summary, is the two or three lines under your name.

Fresher CV with no work experience
If you have no internship either, you still have more than you think. List the final-year project with what you built or found. List a training, even a short one, with the institute's name. List anything you organised — a college event, a sports team, a tuition class you ran for younger students. A fresher CV is judged on whether you look reliable and ready to learn, and every one of those says so. Keep it to one page.

Common questions
What is the best CV format for freshers?
A one-page reverse-chronological CV with education at the top: contact details, a short objective, education, training and internships, projects, skills and references. Freshers should put education above experience because it is the strongest section they have.
How do I write a CV with no experience?
Replace work experience with what you have done: internships, trainings, college projects, volunteer work and responsibilities you took on. Describe each one by what you did and what came of it, and keep the whole CV to one page.
Is a fresher CV the same as a fresher resume?
In Nepal and India, yes — both words mean the same one- or two-page document, and employers use them interchangeably. This example works whether a vacancy asks for a CV or a resume.
Can I download a fresher CV in Word format for free?
Yes. Open the example in the builder, change the details to yours and download it as a Word file or a PDF. There is no charge, no sign-up and no watermark.
