Resume structure with no work experience
A short summary (2–3 lines)Who you are, what you can do, what role you're looking for.
Technical skillsA specific list: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Git — not vague phrases like "know programming".
Projects instead of work historyA section with 3–5 projects instead of past employers — with links to GitHub and live demos.
EducationCourses, self-study — kept brief, without unnecessary detail.
Contact info and linksGitHub, a portfolio site, and LinkedIn if you have one.
Common mistakes in beginner resumes
- A resume that's 2–3 pages long instead of one.
- Generic phrases like "fast learner" without any concrete backup.
- No links to actual code — GitHub or project demos.
- Listing every technology you've ever touched, including minor ones.
How to describe projects in the experience section
Instead of just listing project names, describe what problem the project solved and which technologies were used. For example: "Mini online store with a discount system — JavaScript, working with arrays of objects, discount calculations."
