Note: Interviewers might have saw many resumes, and they know well regarding these stuffs, so they will easily get to know, whether you wrote the resume yourself or you copied it from other, so, we advice to prepare the objective by yourself using your own words, you can Google for sample objectives
* Academic Profile
Here you will fill all your academic details, you can use a table as you are going to mention, your college or school name and your percentage too (if possible academic years), so placing all these details in a table will give a good impression on the interviewer, so he can easily get your academic information,
Note: While writing the Academic Profile, you need to start from higher Education, for example, if your highest degree is Under graduation, then you need to start from Under graduation and then High school (intermediate) and then school (CBSE/SSC) and while mentioning percentages, you no need to write the symbol % again, if it’s a table, you can just mention at the top of column
* Technical skills:
As we are concentrating this resume, for freshers and high school students, this technical section is very important, as you need to write the stuff which you know well, for example you are good at C language but not C++, then don’t mention the C++, you need to write the technical skills, only if you know, if you wrote anything new skill, then interviewer might ask questions based on the skill, and you must be in a position in order to answer that, so you should write only the skills you know,
* Other skills:
This is the one that highlights your resume, Interviewer not only looks for a techie person, but also looks for a person with more skills, so update your other skills, like if you know how to write articles, update it is as you are freelancer, or an affiliate marketer, basically you need to write the other skills based on job, if it’s a software job, update the skills as you are a webmaster, logo designer etc! so it add ups your possibility in getting a job
* Accomplishments:
well, most of us participated in seminars, workshops, debates, JAM’s etc, so you need to update your academic accomplishments in a detailed way,
Interviewer sees whether you are a book worm or a social guy, this section will show’s you are competitive guy, don’t think you can’t update this as you never won a prize, well, participation is important, and most of the people failed to update this section, as they concentrated well on percentages, but not on events and social activities, so interviewers throw the candidates easily!
* Extra curricular activities:
As we can see, accomplishments shows how much competitive you are and this will show you how social you are, whether you can manage any events, etc, Here update the information if you have managed to conduct an event (like in a tech fest or in a workshop) or whether you visit to any place (like an industrial tour or for project purpose)
* Projects handled or Academic project:
Give a short detail regarding your projects here, you can follow the below procedure in representing the project:
Project title:
Team size:
Role in the project:
Abstract:
and this information is enough and mostly they will ask based on your abstract, so write the Project’s Abstract correctly and it should justify the project title
* Personal information:
Most people commits mistake while writing personal information, Think that we are applying for a job, and we are not signing up for a social account, first let me give an example of correct way to write a personal information, it should contain:
Name:
Father’s Name: (apostrophe is important, make sure you use that or …)
Languages known:
Hobbies:
Address:
and this information is enough, and in the heading you already mentioned email id and contact number, so no need to mention it again here, and you may leave the name field too!
So, possible mistakes done by freshers, is that they mention their ethnicity, marital status, caste etc? well why do interviewers need those information, they are not going to give a job, if you belong to a lower caste or if you are unmarried, so avoid those stuff in the personal information
* References:
References are very important, and you should give possibly 2 references, if you know some one in company you can use their details in references, and other can be from your college lecturers or the Head of the department, please note that the people you are going to give in the references must know you well, so take care while giving the references
Please note references is not like recommendations!
