A useful starting point
Lead with education, then projects, then part-time work. One page is enough for most students. Skip internships you did not do. Skip this example if you already have two relevant placements — use the graduate page and two pages instead.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
