Every name, employer and institution in this sample is invented. In the builder it is laid out on one A4 page; replace each line with your own facts.
Why it is written this way
- The headline lists the three skills the job advertisement is most likely to search for.
- Each project says what it does, what it was built with, and one fact that shows it was real: users, tables, endpoints, tests.
- Skills carry a level ("strong", "basic"). Honest levels save you from questions you cannot answer.
- The GitHub link lets a reviewer see the code. An empty or copied profile does harm, so link only what is yours.
- The internship is listed under projects because it was short; the points still show work on a real code base.
What to change for yourself
- Replace the projects with your own. Two projects you can explain line by line beat five copied from tutorials.
- If you have competitive programming ratings or certifications that employers in your target list ask for, add them under achievements.
- For a testing or support role, move tools and any testing project higher.
- Remove any language you could not write a small program in during an interview.
What to avoid
- A skills list of twenty technologies. It suggests none is known well.
- Project descriptions that only name the technology and not what the project does.
- Links that are broken or lead to an empty profile. Test every link from the PDF.
Questions people ask
Should I include my Class 10 and 12 marks?
For campus and fresher hiring, yes. Many employers set a minimum percentage through school and college and look for these figures.
How many projects should a fresher list?
Two or three that you built or contributed to substantially and can explain in depth.
