It’s now the season for recruitment and all the companies are focused on hiring the best professionals including fresh candidates. On the other hand, companies are also engaged in conducting campus placements in colleges across the country. One of the primary factors to get hired by companies is your resume. A resume summarizes all your history including academic and professional aspects. This is the primary document to be screened that decides whether or not your profile is to be selected.
So, here we have a brief listing of what to mandatorily make sure to be present in your resume
Make a clear objective: Yes, stating an objective is a must. It is nothing but your career goal. Well, as most of us do, you can tailor this part of resume according to the job post you are applying for.
Contact info: Keep your contact information updated. This should include primarily your contact number, mailing id, and residential address. It is important that the mail id you provide sounds professional and not funny or childish. Creating a new mail id for this purpose is a safe bet.
Academic details: You should not miss out on mentioning all the degrees you’ve obtained or the diploma or other certificate
Progress in career: This is important for those who are experienced. List all your previous companies and roles you have been. The latest one should be mentioned atop. Do not forget to mention your duties and responsibilities with your earlier job, as it will help your employer in shortlisting your profile easily.
Keywords will help: Jot down a mini list of keywords related to the job posting. Mention these in your resume wherever possible. You may ask why - when the employer has pile of resumes to shortlist from, he can draw your profile by refining search using those keywords.
