Pointers for your Resume

Session By : @Aviral190694

Date : September 2017

Here are some important website and links that you should be knowing:

1. Hackathon Hackers (Largest Techie Group on Facebook)

2. Resume Building Websites : http://creddle.io

3. Feel free to join our DUCS Coding Club! :) Though it's a closed group!

4. You can write articles / blogs or post on medium.com

5. producthunt.com : Shares the news of new products and you can share as well.

6. GitHub.com: Just to keep track of your daily code and yess of course, for team projects!

7. You can have an account on StackOverflow.com or some other site where you code daily and practice new questions : geeksforgeeks.com , sanfoundary.com (for MCQ), leetcode.com , interviewbit.com

Coming to the main part :

Where do we start ??

  1. You can have a look on templates provided on Google docs (https://docs.google.com).
  2. You can design a template similar or just use one of them (Microsoft Office / Google Docs).
  3. Resume should be short - 1 page is sufficient : Crisp and Clear ,"WRITE LESS THINK MORE"
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT WHAT YOU WRITE IS ACCURATE

{

WHAT I MEAN BY ACCURATE??

"NEVER write anything you don't have a confidence of!!! DON'T OR IF YOU WRITE SOMETHING THEN HAVE THE ART OF FAKING IT NICELY"

}

What should your resume contain ??

3 MAIN THINGS :

  • EDUCATION
  • SITE/PROJECTS
  • EXPERIENCE

Combination of any two will work for the resume

Let's talk about the three main points one by one :

  1. EXPERIENCE :

     DON'T mention your position as your experience : Like don't ever say I was project assistant or some “blah blah” intern 		at some firm , RATHER : you should mention in crisp about what you did ?

 	Mention your work on top.

  1. EDUCATION :

     -> Though this is one of the MOST important aspects BUT DONT GET EMOTIONAL IF YOU WERE A BRIGHT STUDENT :: DONT MENTION EDUCATION ON TOP 

 -> Specially in campus placement, they are not concerned of what have you studied they obviously already know what you did. 

 -> BUT obviously, this is not a field to be left empty , so what goes here ??

  If you are a masters person , simply mention M.Sc./MCA (and your specialisation) and B.Sc.,

  Dont have to give percentile and schools PLZ 

  If you have scored really well , and got a really good rank , you can may be mention it in achievements or in brackets.

  1. SITE PROJECTS :

     -> Mention Tech Projects only. 

 -> Here where the ACCURACY RED ZONE starts :
	 	Please! I am reminding you again, mention those projects only which you noe 100% about , or you can fake well. 

 -> Coming to presenting the projects clearly :
 	* Name of the project :
     	  One line explaination of what happens in this project 
     	  Write in pointers 
     	  Most importantly write what you did ?

Coming to the other pointers :

  1. SKILLS:

     -> Don't mention progress and years of your skill. 

 -> Avoid using terms like “beginner” and “expert”. 

 -> Don't mention simple skills like “MS OFFICE” , I HOPE YOU REMEMBER THIS IS A TECH RESUME SOOOOO..PLEASE SIMPLY DON'T.

 -> PLEASE DON'T mention your hobbies without a significant achievement like National Level Player , Olympiad Topper.

 -> Your skill can include either your knowledge or experience.

 -> Don't mention more, but precise and the ones you KNOW.

  1. ACHIEVEMENTS / COURSES / CERTIFICATION :

     -> MENTION THE SIGNIFICANT ONES FIRST. 

 -> You can include your courses and certification and tech conference participation and event volunteering in this section.  

 -> You can name accordingly

What about personal details ?

Your name , Phone Number and Email Id are enough.
Note (On Email ID): Avoid stupid looking emails like smarthacker@gamil.com or like that. 
		    Maintain a professional looking Email ID for professional purposes.
Your bio might include links to GitHub/ StackOverflow etc. or Medium Blog/ any blogging site.

Phewww…

Hope this helps! :)
