THREE "FORMATS" OF RESUME FOR "FRESHER"

What is Resume?

Before 1992 we used to prepare only ‘Bio-data’. But after 1992 when our economy was opened up and MNC’s flooded in India they came with a new concept called ‘Resume’.

 

Resume is a mandatory document for all fresher’s who is looking after career & job in the private and government companies be it small, medium, and big companies after passing final exams of B.E. / B.TECH / MCA / MBA / PGDM etc.

 

This is a document which includes candidate’s complete information not exceeding in any case more than 2 pages and any fresher can use this resume for next 3 years. The information includes candidate’s education, personal details with complete address (not height, weight & complexion etc.), project reports & training, major strength, major achievements, extra-curricular activities, hobbies etc. 

 

Resume are part of your job application letter. They are technical as well as marketing documents which present your past and present performance to your prospective employers so that they can assess your future potential.

 

What is Bio-data?

Now-a-days this is used only for ‘Matrimonial” purposes because it consists of information on hobbies, interest, height, weight, complexion, family background, likes & dislikes, partner’s preference, marital status, emotional condition etc.

 

What is Curriculum Vitae (CV)?

This is for experienced person (more than 3 years) who has something extra to add. In other words, we can say that it includes all information related to experience, expertise, any additional responsibilities & duties etc. This should not exceed more than 6 pages otherwise it will come under the category of ‘Profile” which may be up to 50 pages.   

 

Types of Resumes

There are four types of resume:

 

1. Chronological (Preferred by most employers)

This resume emphasizes your education and work experience and is most effective when such experience clearly relates to the job you are seeking. List your all entries in ‘reverse’ order, beginning with your most recent qualification and experience. Under each position, describe your responsibilities and accomplishments.

 

2. Functional

This type emphasizes individual fields of competence and is hence used by applicants who are just entering the job market, who want to redirect their careers, or who have little continuous career-related experience. In a nutshell, it demonstrates the applicant’s ability to handle the position they are applying for.

 

 

 

3. Hybrid / Combination

This includes the best features of the chronological and functional resumes. It tends to be very lengthy that is why it is not so popular.

 

4. Electronic Resume

As against the paper copy resumes which are intended to be read by humans, electronic resumes are scanned by computers.

 

A.ASCII Resumes

It stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Many companies no longer hire people to read resumes. Instead they use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software for applying their modern technique called electronic applicant tracking.

 

B. HTML Resumes

It stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language. If you choose this form of electronic resumes, you need to create an HTML coded document that can be uploaded to the internet to post on a web page.

 

Guidelines for preparing Scannable Resumes

Scannable resumes should convey the same information as traditional resumes.

Format and style must be computer-friendly.

List as many facts, skills, and attributes as possible.

 

Use descriptive nouns, noun phrases, action words, and sentence fragments to describe your experiences.

 

Rely heavily on technical language, the current industry buzz words, and technical acronyms which are familiar to your field of study.

 

Be clear with the job description of the post you are applying for.

Place your full name on a line by itself as the first item on the resume.

Put contact information on different lines and if you put more than one phone number,

put each on a separate line.

 

Left align the entire document, avoid columns, and use at least one-inch margins.

Avoid punctuation as much as possible.

Avoid vertical and horizontal lines, and boxes.

 

Use a standard font (Times New Roman, or Arial or Courier) & font size of 10 to 12.

Use white space to demarcate various headings.

 

If you email your resume, save the file in ASCII or plain text format.

Include a key word summary at the end of your resume.

If you send a print copy, do not fold or staple.
