Professional Experience

 Go with the reverse-chronological resume order and list your most recent job first.
 Pick achievements over simply reporting on duties and responsibilities.
 Demonstrate your achievements in bullets. Start each bullet with an action word like developed, optimized,
created, enhanced, improved.
 Quantify each entry whenever possible with numbers, percentages, and amounts.
 Bold information you want your recruiter or interviewer to read for a focus shift.

Education

 Use this section to mention important educational milestones and degree courses you have or are currently
pursuing.
 Be sure to include the following information: Name of institution, Degree type, Year of intended graduation.
 You can highlight key modules of a particular course that aligns with the type of work you are seeking.
 For students, your education section can do the heavy lifting until you've gained enough professional experience.
 Even if you didn't finish a degree, the courses you did finish are yours to put on your resume.

Certifications:

 Along with certification title, mention the body obtained from and start and end date.
 Certifications need to be mentioned in chronological order.

Key Skills

 Key skills are talents and expertise you develop to perform a task or job. Examine the job and look for both obvious
and hidden resume keywords.
 The key skills should be in alignment with the type of work you have done and highlight your learning from it.
 Revisit your experience section to make sure your best skills are demonstrated there as well.

Contact info.

 It is advised to provide your current location in your resume because your location can be a criterion for
the majority of recruiters.
 If you don't provide a link to your LinkedIn profile, 40% of the companies may not even consider
interviewing you. That's why it's important to include it in your resume.
 Please provide a link to any other platform that you are using to showcase your work.

Summary: This section should be filled with your experience till date (work or internship or projects) and learnings
obtained from the same. Stating the use of emotional intelligence / soft skills during the work would make you an
all-rounder candidate.

Projects: Mention Project name, institute or company project is made for along with one liner introduction of the
project and in next line please mention key techs/skills used during the project
Please note: Proofreading the document for correct information, spellings, dates, and locations is of utmost
