Built for experimenting, iterating, and applying

When you are creating your first CV, you often do not know exactly what to include or how to phrase things. MojCV is set up for exactly that process.

Duplicate your CV and test different versions

Not sure whether to lead with education or skills? Want to try a different summary for a specific role? Duplicate your CV in one click and edit the copy without touching your original. Test different wordings, different section orders, different approaches - all saved under the same private link.

Switch templates unlimited times

There is no cost to switching templates and no limit on how many times you do it. Try the Graduate template, compare it with Clean or Simple, see how your content looks in each. Your text, education, and skills carry over every time. Switch until you find the layout that presents your profile best.

No design skills needed - ever

Professional spacing, typography, margins, and section structure are already built into every template. You never choose a font, adjust a margin, or worry about whether the layout looks right. Whatever you type into the editor comes out formatted professionally in the PDF.

Works whether you have no experience or some

First part-time job? Summer internship? Volunteer project? University coursework? The builder includes all the sections a student CV needs, and skips blank ones automatically. All templates are designed to look polished at any length - a one-section CV looks as clean as a full one.

All templates work without a photo

In the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia, photos are typically not included on a CV or resume. All 21 templates are designed to work with or without a photo - if you leave the photo field blank, the layout adapts cleanly with no empty gap.

Create as many versions as you need

Applying for a retail job, a marketing internship, and a data analyst graduate scheme at the same time? Create separate tailored versions for each. All your CVs are stored under your private link and available to edit or re-download at any time.

Switch between phone and laptop any time

Your CV is not tied to one device. It is stored under your private link. Start filling it in on your phone on the bus, open the same link on your laptop at home to finish and fine-tune, then download the PDF from whichever device is nearest. No account or login required on either.

No work experience? Your CV can still be strong.

A student CV does not need years of employment history to be effective. Recruiters hiring students and recent graduates know exactly what they are looking at. What matters is that the CV is clearly structured, honest about where you are, and shows evidence of skills and initiative - not a full career.

Education first: institution, degree, expected graduation date, relevant modules or thesis
Skills: technical tools, languages, software - and transferable skills like communication and organisation
Experience: part-time jobs, internships, volunteer work, university projects, societies
Certifications, online courses, or any relevant training you have completed
A short professional summary that explains what you are looking for and what you bring

Student writing their first CV on MojCV with education and skills sections

Works for CV and resume formats, in every country

Whether the role you are applying for asks for a CV or a resume depends on the country. MojCV handles both.

UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand

These markets use the term "CV". There is no strict page limit at the student level, though one page is common. Photos are generally not included. MojCV templates are used widely across all these markets and produce clean, professional results.

USA and Canada

These markets use the term "resume". A student resume is typically one page. Photos are not included. The Clean, Simple, and Graduate templates are the most widely used in North American applications. MojCV generates clean one-column PDFs that work well with US and Canadian ATS systems.

Europe

CV conventions vary across Europe. In Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and most other EU countries, a photo is more commonly included - but always optional on MojCV. The platform supports <a href="/en/supported-languages" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline">30+ languages</a>, so you can write your CV in the local language of the country you are applying to.

South Africa, India, and international applications

MojCV is used by students in over 90 countries. The platform works the same everywhere: no account, free PDF download, same templates, same experience. Pick your language, pick your template, download your CV.

Questions

Common questions about creating a free student CV or resume

Is MojCV really free for students?

Yes, completely. The PDF download is free for everyone - no subscription, no trial, no paywall. MojCV is funded by advertising, which covers the platform costs and allows the download to stay free permanently. There is no paid tier and no premium version.

How long does it take to create a student CV?

For a first student CV, around 5 minutes to get a complete draft. Enter your name, fill in your education and skills sections, choose a template, and download. If you are adding work experience, projects, or volunteer activity, add a few more minutes per section. The layout and formatting are handled automatically throughout.

What should I include on a student CV with no work experience?

Start with a short professional summary. Follow with your education - institution, degree, graduation date, and any relevant modules. Add a skills section covering both technical and transferable skills. Include any university projects, volunteering, extracurricular activities, or online courses. Part-time work, even if unrelated to your target role, shows initiative. Certifications and language skills are worth including too. You do not need work experience to produce a strong student CV.

Can I create multiple versions of my student CV?

Yes. Duplicate any existing CV in one click and edit the copy independently. You can tailor each version for a different role, industry, or application - different summary, different section emphasis, different template. All versions are stored under your private link and available to re-download at any time.

Which template is best for a student CV?

The Graduate, Simple, Clean, and Minimal templates are the most commonly used for student and entry-level applications. All are clean, ATS-compatible, and designed to present a shorter CV clearly. The Graduate template specifically is built for early-career profiles. You can switch between templates at any time - your content carries over instantly.

Should a student CV include a photo?

It depends on the country. In the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia, photos are generally not included on CVs or resumes. In Germany, France, and much of continental Europe, photos are more commonly expected but still optional. All 21 MojCV templates are designed to work with or without a photo - if you leave the photo field blank, the layout adapts automatically with no empty space.

Does the student CV work for both CV and resume formats?

Yes. The platform and templates work for both. The difference between a CV and a resume is largely terminology and regional convention. MojCV supports 30+ languages, so you can create your document in the language of the country you are applying to, and the section headings translate automatically.

Can I use my student CV for internship and graduate scheme applications?

Yes. The same templates and builder work for student, internship, and graduate scheme applications. For specific applications, use the duplicate feature to create a tailored version: adjust the summary for the role, reorder sections to highlight what is most relevant, and pick the template that fits the tone of the company. All templates are ATS-compatible, which matters for large graduate employers who screen applications automatically.

Can I create my student CV on my phone?

Yes. The full CV builder works on any mobile browser - Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any other browser. There is no app to install. Fill in your sections, pick a template, and tap download. On iPhone the PDF saves to your Files app; on Android it saves to your Downloads folder. You can then attach it directly to any job application. You can also start on your phone and continue on a laptop later - your CV is saved under a private link that works on any device.

Do I need to create an account to use MojCV?

No. Enter a name, pick a language, and the builder opens immediately. MojCV generates a private link when you start - that link saves your CV and lets you come back to it from any device without a login. No email address, no password, no account at any stage.
