Why it works
Student Starter keeps the layout focused on hiring review: role, impact, evidence, and readable sections.

The layout gives students enough structure to show credible proof without pretending they have senior-level experience.
Questions before you start
Quick answers to help you decide if this is the right resume layout.
Is Student Starter only for college students?
