you – certifications, extra

curricular or hobbies

format and readable text size is

always recommended

“A one page resume is the

best document to

talk about your whole

career”


2. Make your Portfolio Attractive

4

• Instead of detailed description, always have bullet points

• HRs only scan the resume; they will talk in depth once you are invited for the interview

• For freshers, it is a must to touch what you have done in college that relates you to the Job role

• Mention company name, Job role and a brief about your responsibilities

“Well put up expertise

and experience

say a lot about your

candidature”


3. Get Trained for HR Screening

• HR Screening is to frame your initial candidature

• What you answer might recommended you for next round

• Before the interview, note and practice the answers to the following questions

– A brief about yourself

– Past education

– Experience & work done

– Hobbies & activities

“Recruiters make the

first impression

of an applicant, forever”


4. Leverage Social Media Platform

6

• Linked In

– Keep your profile updated

– Groups and activities talks a lot about your professional life

– Your professional connections are icing on the cake

• Facebook /Twitter

– Recruiters do follow your social media account before talking to you

– Likes, dislikes, content sharing gives an idea of your personality

– Active participation might earn you brownie points

“Social media is not

just for fun, it might get you the

dream job.

Be active”
