Here are the top tips:
Start with a summary
The best way to begin writing a CV is by creating a short summary of around four or so sentences that best describe what you are able to bring to the role should you get the job. Sometimes you will have the right qualifications for the position and will be in a good position for consideration because your training is still so fresh and current.
Keep your sentences short and to the point with no unnecessary waffle or filler to try to make it look more substantial. Recruiters will only be interested in picking out the information that is relevant for the job in hand, so there is no need to go overboard.
List your qualifications

Always begin by listing your most recent qualifications and set out information in chronological order making this section look as visually attractive and eye-catching as possible. It is important here that you choose a CV style with a layout that best displays your qualifications.
What to put in the experiences section of your CV
The experience section of your CV is going to be your most challenging part. Although you cannot put any relatable work experience in this section, you don't have to leave it blank or omit it from your CV entirely.
You can draw on some of your life experiences and describe how the transferable skills you have gained can be used in the job. You probably have more transferable skills than you realise.
These can include great time-management skills by meeting deadlines with studies and report submissions, talk about research skills and how applying these to this role can bring great rewards, mention the skills picked up in any part-time jobs have held and explain that your good teamwork skills that helped to deliver a joint project at college.
Comments about voluntary work and responsibilities will also look good.
