BA student resume format

Humanities students have more evidence than they think — surveys designed, responses coded, reports that committees acted on. This quiet ruled format gives that work the seriousness it deserves, with a serif body and nothing louder than a hairline.

Frequently asked questions

Is CVLoom really free?

Yes — editing, all 283 templates, and PDF download are free, with no watermark and no card. There is no account at all: no signup, no login, nothing to cancel.

Will my PDF have selectable text for ATS systems?

Yes. Exports are generated by a real browser engine, so the PDF has true selectable text, embedded fonts, and clickable links — the things resume parsers need.

Can I switch templates without retyping anything?

Yes — your content and the design are stored separately, so switching templates re-flows the same content instantly and losslessly. Try every one of them.

What counts as experience on a BA student resume?

Fieldwork with a number attached: a 200-response survey, 400 responses coded, a report that changed a decision. Research for a student society counts the same way if you state the scale and what happened next.
