🧾 Why Your Resume Matters (A Lot)

Your resume is your first impression. For most recruiters, it’s the first and only filter to shortlist candidates. If your resume isn’t clear, modern, and tailored—it might not even get opened.

So, how can a fresher build a job-ready resume in 2025?

Let’s break it down.

🪄 Step-by-Step Resume Guide for Freshers

1. Start with a Professional Summary (Not an Objective)

✅ Bad: “Looking for a job in your company…”
✅ Good: “Recent B.Com graduate with strong Excel and Tally skills, seeking entry-level finance roles.”

Keep it short (2–3 lines), tailored to the job, and results-focused.

2. Highlight Skills (Before Education)

Recruiters want skills, not just degrees.

🛠 Example:

MS Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP)

Canva & Social Media Marketing

Python (Beginner Level)

Good Communication (English, Hindi)

3. Add Internships, Projects, or Freelance Work

Even unpaid internships or college projects count.

📌 Example:
Social Media Intern – Local Cafe (Feb 2025 – Mar 2025)

Increased Instagram followers from 300 to 1,000

Created 15+ reels and posts using Canva

4. Certifications Boost Credibility

Add online courses and certificates. Example:

🎓 Google Digital Marketing
🎓 Microsoft Excel (Coursera)
🎓 Data Analytics with Power BI (LinkedIn Learning)

5. Education Section: Keep It Clean

Example:
B.Tech in Computer Science – AKTU University
2021–2025 | CGPA: 7.8/10

6. Add Soft Skills & Languages

🗣 Soft Skills: Teamwork, Time Management, Adaptability
🗨️ Languages: English (Fluent), Hindi (Native), Gujarati (Basic)

7. Optional but Impressive: Add a ‘LinkedIn or GitHub’ Link

If you’ve posted projects, designs, blogs, or code, include a link. It makes you stand out.
