  • Updated
  • 1 min read

Nobody expects work history from apprentices – care, motivation and a complete resume are expected.

What carries the first page

  • Internships with duties: every placement with duration and two bullets.
  • School with strengths: results, favourite subjects and projects.
  • Motivation, concrete: why this trade, why this employer.

Avoiding common mistakes

  • Empty phrases: team player and motivated without proof convinces nobody.
  • Incomplete details: check phone and email – twice.
  • Sloppy layout: a clean export proves care.

Every template includes an apprentice layout – you only fill in placements and school.
