Sample Resume - Tertiary Study + No Paid Work Experience
(A Youth Central Sample Resume)
Use this sample resume as a basis for your own resume if you:
• Are studying (or have completed) a course of tertiary study
• Have had little or no formal (paid) work experience
NOTE: DON'T SUBMIT YOUR RESUME AS A .PDF. Some recruitment software has trouble reading .pdfs.
Because of this we recommend that you always submit your resume as a .doc, .docx or .rtf.
This sample resume is designed to market you to employers who will be reading applications from many other
graduates and current tertiary students. Sometimes over 1000 people will apply for the same graduate level
position.
A lack of practical work experience can be a challenge for tertiary students and graduates. Focusing on
academic achievements, demonstrated capabilities and work placements lets you show that you have
professional strengths and skills without highlighting your lack of formal work experience.
This sample resume has been designed to focus on:
• A marketing statement that ties together your academic strengths and your personal attributes
• Key skills and capabilities you have developed while studying
• Your education, including achievements that demonstrate your skills and capabilities
• Personal attributes and examples that show how you have applied these attributes
• Any work placements you have undertaken as part of your studies
• Any volunteer positions that demonstrate your skills and attributes
• A written testimonial that demonstrates your ability to transition from study to full-time work
This sample resume will create a two-page resume. If your resume ends up being three pages long, you're
probably providing too much information - try cutting some things out and sticking to two pages maximum.
