About this sample
Freshers often think they have nothing to put on a CV. In fact, most have plenty: an internship, a thesis or course project, tutoring, club roles, volunteering. The work is in writing them as achievements rather than a list of activities.
This sample puts education near the top, because for a fresh graduate it is the strongest and most checked part of the CV, then uses the experience and project sections to prove skills employers ask for.

What recruiters check first
- Your degree and results. Recruiters check your degree, institution and CGPA first, then SSC and HSC. Give each with its scale so nobody has to guess.
- Evidence of skills they need. An internship bullet with a number, or a project with a real outcome, shows more than a list of adjectives. Pick the evidence that matches the role you are applying for.
- Initiative. Club roles, events you organised, tutoring you arranged yourself: these show you get things done without being told.
- Care and correctness. Spelling mistakes and messy formatting hurt a fresher more than anyone, because the CV is the only work sample the recruiter has.
Career objective and summary examples

Format tips
- One page suits most freshers; two pages is fine once you have relevant internships, projects or research.
- Write a 2 to 3 line summary naming the role you want, instead of a generic career objective.
- Turn every activity into a result: what you did, and what came of it.
- For Bangladeshi employers, list two referees, for example a teacher and an internship supervisor, with phone and email, after asking them.
- Change the summary and skills for each job; do not send the same CV everywhere, and use a formal email address made from your name.
সাধারণ প্রশ্ন
- How do I write a CV with no experience?
- Lead with education, then use internships, projects, tutoring, part-time work and club or volunteer roles as your experience. Write each as an achievement with a result, not just a duty.
- Is tutoring worth putting on a CV?
- Yes, for a fresher. It shows responsibility, communication and reliability. Keep it to one line with a concrete result, such as how your students did in their exams.
- Should a fresher CV be one page?
- One page suits most freshers; two pages is fine once you have relevant internships, projects or research. Government and bank formats that ask for personal details often run to two.
- Do I need a photo on a fresher CV?
- Many Bangladeshi employers expect a formal photo, especially banks and government-linked organisations, while multinationals and jobs abroad often prefer none: follow the job post. If you add one, use a recent photo (last 6 months); for government forms, follow the circular.
