• Be
as concise as possible in the resume without
omitting any
important details. Remember that your resume
is not an essay writing competition. The
recruiter will read it for less than a minute. You
have less than a minute to catch
the recruiter's eye
•
All achievements aside, your resume
should be reader - friendly.
Important points should be highlighted
in bold. Ensure that the resume does
not become too glossy
•
It is surprising to note that a
number of students fail to proof - read
their resume for grammatical mistakes.
It reflects poorly on the applicant if any grammatical
errors are found on his/her resume
•
When you write about your projects/hobbies
in your resume, it is expected that
you know everything that there is to know about
it. If you mention that you have done
a project on a particular topic and are not able
to talk about it or answer questions on it, it
shows the hollowness of your preparation
and lack of interest in the organization
•
A resume can be used smartly to
LEAD the
interview into your area of comfort.
Else it may divert into areas in which the interviewer
is very comfortable and you might
find yourself clueless
•
Take
feedback from others about your resume.
They will be able to give you an unbiased
opinion
