What should your resume have ?
Your resume should have basic information about these few things as listed below
- Your contact information like email, house address and phone number.
- Objective ( Optional )
- Education
- Achievements
- Leadership Experiences
- Customer Service experiences ( if any )
- Technical Skills or Computer Skills
- Internship Experience
- Professional Work experience ( If you have any )
- B.Tech or B.Com projects ( If you do not have professional experience )
You do not need to write any long stories, just write couple sentences about your work or leadership experience. Try to focus on leadership experience and achievements. If you do not have any, start doing them now to look good on resume. Also, if you did not had any internship experience, just put in your final year project experience. Stress on your projects done in Bachelors. If you have worked, do not get too carried away by your technical acumen and fill up the resume with full of technical jargon. Just use generic terminology and keep it simple.
What NOT to put on your Resume ?
I have seen many people including myself back in my college days doing the mistake of putting information that is not needed here in US. We are used to putting the info because of the structure of resume differences in India and other countries.
Do NOT put the items listed below :
- Date of Birth
- Nationality
- Religion, caste, etc ( we are used to filling Govt applications, just avoid )
- Passport Number
- Home address in your Home country
- Percentage split by every semester or every year (Final aggregate Percentage only)
- Any family related information about Parents, siblings and their occupations.
