What to include in a student CV
You don't need years of work experience to build a strong CV. Here's what matters most for students in Pakistan.
Education — your biggest asset
List your current degree, institution (FAST, LUMS, NUST, UET, IBA etc.), expected graduation year, and CGPA if 3.0+. If you're in A-Levels or Matric, list results and subjects.
Technical and soft skills
Coding languages, tools, software, design apps, languages you speak — list them clearly. Soft skills like teamwork and problem-solving are worth mentioning too.
Projects and coursework
Final Year Project, semester projects, group assignments that demonstrate real skills — include them. Mention what you built and what technology you used.
Societies, events, and volunteering
Were you in a student society, organised events, or participated in competitions or hackathons? These show initiative and are highly valued by Pakistani employers hiring students.
LinkedIn and portfolio
Add your LinkedIn profile, GitHub, Behance, or portfolio website. Kodotools CV Maker lets you add custom social links that appear as clickable links in the downloaded PDF.
Tips for internship applications in Pakistan
Keep it one page
Internship recruiters spend seconds scanning CVs. One tight page beats two half-empty ones every time.
Tailor to the role
Move the most relevant skills to the top. Applying for a software internship? List technical skills first. Marketing internship? Lead with communication and campaigns.
Use numbers where possible
"Managed social media for 3,000+ follower page" is stronger than "Managed social media." Any number — even small ones — adds credibility.
Use a clean ATS template
Major Pakistani companies (HBL, Unilever, P&G, tech firms) use ATS software. Use Classic or Minimal template in Kodotools for best ATS compatibility.
Writing a student objective for your CV
A student objective for a resume is the short line at the top that tells an employer what you’re studying and what you’re after — an internship, a part-time role, or your first job. Keep it to two lines, name your degree and year, and point at the specific opportunity. Being specific beats sounding impressive.
Example — internship
“Third-year Software Engineering student at NUST seeking a summer internship where I can apply my Java and web-development coursework to real projects.”
Example — part-time role
“BBA student looking for a part-time customer-support role that fits around evening classes, with strong communication and MS Office skills.”
CV examples for students with no experience
No job history yet is completely normal as a student — the trick is to fill the space with things that are experience: coursework, projects, and anything you’ve built or organised. This is exactly how a strong CV for students with no experience is put together:
- • Academic projects — your FYP, a semester project, or a lab you’re proud of. Say what you built and the tools you used.
- • Coursework that matches the role — list the relevant subjects rather than every course.
- • Skills and certifications — languages, software, and any short online courses.
- • Activities — societies, volunteering, competitions, a part-time gig.
CV for CS students: a computer-science CV works best when your projects and a link to your GitHub sit near the top — a recruiter would rather see code you’ve written than a long list of soft skills. Add the tech stack for each project (for example, “React, Node, MongoDB”) so it reads at a glance. The Two-column template keeps skills and links tidy down one side.
FAQ
Student CV questions answered
Can I build a CV while still in university?
Absolutely. Most internship applications require a CV even in second or third year. Use "Expected Graduation: [Year]" in the education section. You don't need to have finished your degree.
What do I put on a CV as a student with no experience?
Lead with academic projects (your FYP or semester work), relevant coursework, skills and certifications, and activities like societies or volunteering. Add a short objective line naming your degree and the role you want. For a CS student, put projects and a GitHub link near the top with the tech stack for each.
What format should I save my CV in?
Always send as PDF. It preserves your formatting exactly. Kodotools downloads your CV as a PDF automatically — no conversion needed.
Do Pakistani companies use ATS for student hiring?
Yes — large corporations and multinationals operating in Pakistan (Unilever, P&G, Nestle, HBL, tech companies) use ATS systems. Always use a clean, single-column template for these applications.
Will my CV be saved if I close the browser?
Yes. Your CV autosaves to your browser's local storage. Come back on the same device and browser and it'll be there. Use Export JSON to save a backup file you can reload on any device.
