Resume Sample 1 follows the basic resume format of a fresh college grad with a web design background. This basic resume format is ideal for those who are applying for entry level jobs and can easily fit in a single page. Refer to Resume Rample 2 (entry level web developer) and Resume Sample 3 (Entry Level IT Support Specialist) for fresh graduate resumes with longer format.

Resume Writing Tip:When writing a resume, it is important to filter out the details you include and choose only the information that is relevant to the position you are apply for. Most fresh graduates are prone to the mistake of cramming every single detail in their resume without necessarily considering which information is relevant and which isn't. Your resume's purpose is to showcase your knowledge, skills and experience that will convince your potential employer that you are the right fit for the job. As a general rule, eliminate any information that doesn't serve that purpose.

In comparison, Resume Sample 2 is noticeably longer and more detailed that Resume Sample 1. Even so, all the information provided are still relevant to the position that the person is applying for.

Resume Writing Tip:When applying for highly technical jobs like that of a Web Developer, you have the option to include a section for your related coursework. While it is not a common practice, doing so is important especially for fresh graduates and for individuals with no work experience. Your relevant courses (as well as trainings and seminars ) will show the kind of knowledge and value that you can bring to your potential employer.

This is an example of a resume for an IT graduate applying for an entry-level job. While this resume sample is much longer than the other two, it serves well as a â€œmaster resumeâ€ which you can tailor down accordingly, depending on the position you are applying for.

Resume Writing Tip:The issue on whether or not you should include a references section on your resume is up for debate. However, since most job applications are already made online, it is best to simply put â€œWill be provided upon requestâ€ on the references section. This is to ensure the privacy of your references. Besides, the hiring manager can always ask you to provide references in case it will be needed.

Creating a resume from scratch is time consuming and sometimes, even stressful. Feel free to use these resume sample for IT graduates and entry level professionals to create or update your resume. To make things more convenient, you can also download our resume sample for fresh graduates.
