Dear All

Dear All…. Even after posting very good material on resume tips by pranav sir, few of our friends could not design their CV as it should be so that it attracts the recruiter. I am posting my CV. You can have idea on how to design a CV. Here is some tips u can follow: Formatting Related: •

Keep line-spacing as 1.5 and not 1.0

•

Stick to a single font-face & font-size. I suggest VERDANA & 10.

•

Resume Title i.e. your name could be of large size.

•

Whenever needed make the headings bold. But keep the same font face & size.

•

Use bullet points whenever possible that also of only one type.

•

Paragraphs as justified alignment.

•

Do not use any other colour but blank.

Content Related: •

Resume title should be your name & not RESUME or CV

•

Followed by present address, e-mail ID & mobile number

•

Put the logo of any certification u hold, in the same line of your name

•

Career objective: It is one of the important part of your CV. It must be impressive. Remember Impressive.

•

Career Summary: write your total experience, certifications, current company & any other info that u think is important

•

Software competency: use tabular format. Bold the technology name u have expertise. Bold the tools that have significant importance in industry. Do remember to mention programming language / technology, RDBMS / Database, Application Server and Tools.

o In the programming language field, write all u have worked on in past. But bold that u has expertise in present.

o Remember the difference between application server & web server. Pramati,

Weblogic,

Websphere

server.

These

application server. Tomcat is not complete application server but is a web container. Tomcat is not a web server.

Each (professional) project must have mention of client, duration, OS / Platform (optional), Team Size, Data Base, Application Server, Tools, software language and finally your role / contribution. Also write details of what the project is for. Mention your responsibilities in bullet points.

•
