Learning Points
- First things first, your resume should reflect your true personality. Always have a handy list of pointers in your achievements. National and International level participation will make a substantial impact. School or Micro-Level achievements will not give you an added edge.
- What follows next is the most crucial part, the presentation. The key here is ‘Categorization’, starting with Academics followed by Qualifications and Certifications and lastly Extra-Curriculars. There is no limit on the number of categories to be included unless, there is enough content for each of it to hold.
- How do you structure the content inside every category? Subsume comprehensively but also maintain brevity within every category. While doing this, the headline should always attract attention.
- The last leg of the exercise is ‘Work Experience’. For experienced professionals or for that matter any candidate who has had a brief industry interaction, it is imperative that the impact made during the work tenure is given maximum attention, rather than concentrating only on the responsibilities associated with the role.
