Student CV template: a concrete example to customize
The student CV trap: believing you have “nothing to put on it”. An internship or apprenticeship recruiter does not expect salaried experience — they look for proof of energy: study projects, summer jobs, volunteering, and a clearly presented education.

3 tips to make your student CV stand out
1. Put education before experience
At this stage, your degree in progress is your strongest argument. Reverse the classic order: detailed education first, experience second.
2. Treat study projects as assignments
“Market study for a real shop owner, recommendations adopted” is worth an experience. Context, action, result: the same grammar as a professional.
3. Don't hide the food-money jobs
Till work, delivery, events: these jobs prove punctuality, customer contact and stamina. Apprenticeship recruiters value them highly.
