Answer 2

Name and contact address with email id and contact phone Number

Name, address, telephone, e-mail address, web site address

All your contact information should go at the top of your resume.

* Avoid nicknames.
* Use a permanent address. Use your parents' address, a friend's address, or the address you plan to use after graduation.
* Use a permanent telephone number and include the area code. If you have an answering machine, record a neutral greeting.
* Add your e-mail address. Many employers will find it useful. (Note: Choose an e-mail address that sounds professional.)
* Include your web site address only if the web page reflects your professional ambitions.

2. Your Career objective



An objective tells potential employers the sort of work you're hoping to do.

* Be specific about the job you want.
* Tailor your objective to each employer you target/every job you seek.

3. Your educational details in reverse chronological order



* Your most recent educational information is listed first.
* Include your degree (BE, BTech, ME, Mtech, MS.), area of specialization , institution attended, percentage/grade point average
* Mention academic honors.

4. Your skill set:

· Clearly categorize your skills correctly ,for example

Programming languages : C, C++, JAVA

Operating systems : UNIX, LINUX

5. Project details:

· Clearly specify the name of the project

· Type of the project (Major/minor)

· Give a clear description of not more than 5 lines about the project

· Where you did the project

· Time taken to implement the project

6. Extracurricular activities:

· Highlight the academic and technical activities first

· Specify the hobbies you are good at

· Highlight activities which show qualities like leadership, teamwork etc



7. References:

In most instances it is not necessary to include names and address of references on the resume. If you include a reference, make it sure that the referenced person knows very well about you. It is also advisable to add the persons as references, whom the employer can contact easily. If possible add the phone number and e-mail ID of the reference.

Answer 4

A CV contains in brief all information about you that is relevant for the job: personal information, education, work experience etc. The CV shows what qualifications and experiences you have that make you an ideal candidate for the position.
Structure and Content

* Personal Information
name, address, phone number, email, nationality, date of birth
* Summary of Qualifications (where appropriate)
* Work Experiences (current experiences first)
period of time, company name and address, position, brief description of your responsibilities and achievements
* Education and Training (current experiences first)
period of time, name of institution, qualifications
* Further Information
other skills (e.g. foreign language skills), additional information that may support your objective and qualifications

Important Tenses

* Simple Past (past responsibilities and achievements)
* Present Perfect (experiences)
* Simple Present (present responsibilities)

Tips

Put work experiences before education/training. Employers often just skim CVs, so it's better to put important things first. For the same reasons you may even want to include a summary of qualifications at the beginning of your CV.

Marital status and place of birth are irrelevant for applications in the UK or USA. Neither should you give information on your primary or secondary school education if you already have plenty of work experience.

Answer 5

It depends on the position that you are applying for. If you are a newly grad, your resume might contain only statistical data and your educational background. if you are a junior or senior executive, the emphasis of your resume would be the functions that you have taken or occupied and lastly if you are applying for a manegerial position, the emphasis will be the companies you have worked for and underline the things that you have done to the companies success.

Answer 6

The structure plays a predominant role while structuring a Resume. The description should flow in such a manner that it flows from one person to his qualifications and finally to the expectations of the job profile.

There are some straight forward guidelines to this. in basic terms use straight forward textual content. no HTML, no tables, all in 12 font length. no fancy fonts. do not embed photos and deliver a .document version (no pfd or docx considering that some recruitment equipment cant deal with them)

JUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENT OF THE COMPANY OR TO WHOM U R SUBMITTING THE RESUME. JUST MAKE THE FORMAT AS REQUIRED.
