It is a summary of your qualifications, experience, skills and achievements, and objectives in life. It is what attracts one to your profile to provide you with a chance to prove your mettle and be a part of that establishment. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Proof_Read\"><\/span>1. Proof Read<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always recheck, at least a couple of times, to avoid any spelling mistakes grammatical errors and improper sentence formations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_A_Format_Follow_A_Pattern\"><\/span>2. Use A Format \/ Follow A Pattern<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever you write should follow a pattern. That means if you are using the first person, continue with it. Maintain the same tense throughout as required, but mention your present studies or job in the present. Also, avoid stark statements; make them formal and humble, rather than loud and too bold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Use_Points_List_To_Highlight\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Use Points, List To Highlight<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than presenting everything you have done in points, highlight the achievements during that experience, and the key responsibilities and learning. The pointers are to make a note but people are interested in how you have used the opportunities in life to achieve something extraordinary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Write_Smart_Not_Common\"><\/span>4. Write Smart Not Common<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to avoid cliches, jargon, and commonly and widely used phrases and quotations. Do not be a commoner; stand out. You do not need the aid of such crutches to prove your calibre. But if you are in the technical field, where certain knowledge is essential, then do not forget the use of terminologies that form an inseparable part of the field of work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Use_Keywords\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Use Keywords<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put to use power verbs though wherever needed, but not overtly and unnecessarily. Words such as accelerated, accomplished, achieved, orchestrated, optimized, reviewed, revised, reinforced, surpassed, etc, add an aristocratic touch to your resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_Rule_of_KISS\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. The Rule of KISS<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not go into too much detail. Leave that for the interview round. Remember the rule of &#8216;KISS&#8217; (Kiss full form is Keep It Simple, Stupid), that is keep it short and simple. The average length should be about one to two pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Use_A_Proper_Format\"><\/span>7. Use A Proper Format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most preferred font is Arial or Times New Roman, and the font size should ideally be between 10-12 points. Avoid too much of bold and italic words and lines. And also graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Dont_Use_False_Information\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Don\u2019t Use False Information<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And be honest. Do not fake it as it will only add to your negative points in future. Even if you have minimal to present, do so gracefully and without pretence. Not everyone is the same, so just be truthful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/10-fundamentals-to-build-a-resume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 Fundamentals to Build A Resume &amp; Tips &amp; Free Tools<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many take it quite casually and fail to understand that you will get the chance to present yourself only if you can intrigue the authorities with your resume.
