How do I write a CV with no experience?

Put your education, skills, projects, training and achievements first. Add a two-line objective saying which job you want. Internships, computer courses and part-time work all count.

Should I add a photo to my CV?

Only if the job advertisement asks for it. Most private employers in India do not need one.

Can I make a CV on my mobile phone?

Yes. The LKOJobs free CV builder works on a phone, asks one question at a time and lets you save the CV as a PDF.

How to Write a CV for Your First Job (With No Experience)

A CV is a one-page summary that tells an employer who you are, what you have studied and what you can do. You do not need work experience to write a good one.

What to include

Name and contact: full name, mobile number, email, city.
Career objective (2–3 lines): the job you want and what you bring. Example: "Hardworking B.Com graduate with good knowledge of Tally and MS Excel, looking for an accounts assistant role."
Education: latest first — course, school or college, board or university, year, percentage.
Skills: computer skills, languages, typing speed, and job skills such as Tally, sales or customer handling.
Projects, training or part-time work: a computer course, an internship, helping in a family shop, college events you organised.
Achievements and certificates: CCC, O Level, NCC, sports, scholarships.
Languages: Hindi, English and any other.

What to leave out

Father's name, religion, caste and marital status — not needed for private jobs
A long "declaration" paragraph
Skills you cannot actually show in an interview
Fancy fonts, colours and borders

Rules that make a CV look professional

One page for a fresher
One simple font, 11 or 12 size
Check spelling twice; ask someone else to read it
A sensible email address using your name
Save it as a PDF named "YourName-CV.pdf"

Change the CV for each job

Read the job description and bring the matching skills to the top. A CV sent for a sales job and one sent for a data-entry job should not be identical.
