What to Include When You Have No Experience
Focus on: Education (GPA, relevant coursework), Projects (academic or personal), Internships (even short ones), Skills (technical and soft), Certifications, Volunteer work, and Extracurricular activities.
How to Structure a Fresher Resume
Start with Education (since it's your strongest asset), then Projects, then Skills, then Internships, then Additional sections. Use a functional format that emphasizes skills over experience.
